"My feeling is, very bright young people, or older people just, you know, kind of point them in the right direction, they do it for themselves...But the ones come to you, totally uninspired, lost, directionless, and seeing them find themselves, and find a direction, that's really most gratifying for me."

“So Carriage House Theater was just really a piece of my heart. I lived here like a lot of our junior faculty do, during speech team and theater. It was a large portion of my life.”

"David Hanig was professor of English, and David was a playwright. When David heard that I was teaching anatomy in the auditorium, David said, 'Oh this is a fantastic thing. We can stage a production for you.' He wanted to dress students in red and students in blue and then when I discuss the heart I would then say, 'Here come the corpuscles through the atria now.' And we would have these students walking through and I said, 'David, this is anatomy. It's not theatre and we are not going to do this.' He was very disappointed at that, but it was very interesting."

"It has to do with what we call a liberal education, in the sense that it's the study of literature, and humanities in general, that introduces the student to thought and reflection and discussion of values and what's important and good about life, what's good about each others' lives. So, I think it goes beyond simply utilitarian function for the student; but, to get the student to reflect on his or her own life, and see that, "Yes, I see what this tragedy is all about. I can understand that partly because I can understand that from my own personal experience." So, it's really an enhancement of a student's own way of looking at life. You see what I'm saying? Rather than just a skill to prepare somebody to speak or to write, or whatever. That's part of it; but, it's certainly not the whole of it."
