DBM@80 - Playwrights Panel - Part II

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 second panel features several Georgetown alumni who have become playwrights and writers, or who have participated in the Donn B. Murphy One-Acts Festival. It is moderated by Karen Berman and Susan Lynskey.

Participants are: Gus Kaikkonen, artistic director of the Peterborough Player; journalist and non-fiction author Robert Sabbag; children's and young adult novelist Rachel Vail; playwright Paul Notice; Georgetown senior and playwright Miranda Rose Hall; and playwright Jerry Mayer.
