DBM@80 - Calliope Panel - Part III

On the occasion of the 80th birthday of Dr. Donn B. Murphy, theatre alumni of Georgetown University gathered in the Gonda Theatre in the Royden B. Davis Center for the Performing Arts to celebrate DBM's life and career.

Three panel discussions on the afternoon of October 23, 2010, offered a time capsule: an oral history of theatre at Georgetown since 1955, when DBM took the helm as moderator/artistic director of the Mask and Bauble Dramatic Society.

This third panel focuses on Calliope, for the better part of two decades Georgetown's tradition of creating and producing original musical theatre. Introduced by Lynne McKay, it is moderated by Donn B. Murphy and Donna Scheeder.

Participants are alumni Bill Bremer, Tim Fischer, John Gore, Jack Hofsiss, and Bryan Williams, and current student Meghan McCormick, as well as members of the audience who shared their own reminiscences, anecdotes, and recollections.

Part 3 of 6 parts.
