Beginning of the year update:

Well, perhaps the most significant thing is that the entire Drama faculty is back on-campus, off sabbaticals and ready to get to work (sort of).
Tony returns to us after a year of professional acting and directing and some glorious travel. Ask him.

Additionally, we have a new member of the Drama Family, J. Theresa Bush (She just goes by Theresa) our new Graduate Assistant in the Costume Shop. She will be starting right away with pretty much gutting the shop and starting over, with a serious cleaning out of stock not far behind. She will be in the Shop most days, so stop in and introduce yourselves and lend a hand.

Other news: There is a new Calendar for the season. the link is to the right hand side of this page. It will automatically update as things get added to it. Please email me if you have something to be posted (black box readings, auditions, etc.)

I have heard about one student production in the Black Box (Cameron? You out there?) but "more is more". Surely we can do better than that.

We have made a change in the administration of the program that you should be aware of: Patrick will now serve as Academic Chair and I will serve as Production Manager. So if you have questions about departmental stuff (classes, etc.) see PKM, I you have production issues (crew assignments, budgets, etc.) see me. We'll be learning as we go where the real divisions are, but this should make things run a little more efficiently.

So - welcome back (or almost-back as the case may be).

Reply with what you've done over the summer, theatrical or otherwise and stop in and see us when you get back to campus.
