Two Department of Theatre colleagues were well-traveled academically during the summer. Amy Lehman of the Department of Theatre studied American drama with Howard Stein at Columbia University in New York City in the summer months, through a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.

During the month of June, Mark Dalton worked on the faculty of the New York State Defenders’ Institute, teaching trial skills to public defenders. Then, while in France in August, he visited French productions of Moliere’s George Dandin, Rostand’s Cyrano de Bergerac and the premiere production of a new vaudeville work called Yalta!, and also began photographic research for the design of Much Ado About Nothing, the fourth production of the 1997-98 Theatre Department season, which opens in April, 1998.
