Next to her family, Anita Tritico\u2019s life revolved around the theatre. She was an avid supporter of many art institutions in Lake Charles, but she was devoted to the McNeese performing arts program. For this reason, Tritico\u2019s daughter, Annette, will host a ceremony on Dec. 13 to rename the theatre in McNeese University\u2019s Shearman Fine Arts Annex the Joe and Anita Tritico Theatre.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo have this theatre named after them is the greatest honor they could ever have,\u201d says Annette.<\/p>\n
Anita Tritico worked tirelessly as the McNeese Theatre\u2019s production coordinator for 31 years, and was devoted to the performing arts program and the students who studied under her watch. She died on March 22, 2011, at the age of 82.\u00a0 <\/a><\/p>\n
