MAY WE NEVER FORGET THOSE WE’VE LOST . . .
Welcome to the UWP Alumni Memorial. Thank you for visiting and helping us all remember our fellow alumni who may have left the stage but will vamp forever in our hearts.
The most recent updates were made May 10, 2026. For a list of the approximately 400 alumni for whom we don’t have a photo but would like to source one to include in the tribute video, please refer to this list organized by cast year.
To correct any errors, add additional names, or to add photos, links to obituaries or short stories/biographies, please submit the information via the form found here.
Any other questions? Please contact us.
For nearly four decades, Jeff Peterson (’69-’70B, ‘70A) has diligently compiled and maintained this database of the alumni we have lost over the many years. Since 2015, Michael Scott Curnes (’80B) has translated this database of lost cast members into a dynamic and moving tribute video which gets updated each time we are notified of another passing. If you would like to reach the alumni responsible for this memorial project, please email: memorials@uwpiaa.org. If you are aware of alumni tribute videos posted elsewhere online that we can add to the UWPIAA YouTube Channel, please share a link or email the video file to us at videos@uwpiaa.org.
