CommFest: A Starry Night

A star-studded lineup of Northwestern University School of Communication alumni turned the newly christened Ryan Fieldhouse into a rollicking, full-throttle reunion on April 21, paying tribute in music and comedy to the school’s storied past while challenging the next generation of students to carry on the tradition. Emceed by Late Show host Stephen Colbert, the variety show, “A Starry Night,” drew a crowd of more than 2,600, who were treated to performances by dozens of famous alumni and current Northwestern students.
