Ushers for Glass Menagerie

Dear Fellow Masquers,

As you all know, our production of The Glass Menagerie is less than a week away. Due to the impending performance we need ushers for the performances, which are November 6-8 and 13-15 at 8pm in Peter Mills Theater. If you would like to usher please contact me via email at firnenot@duq.edu as soon as you possibly can. It would be great if you could usher, and you get points toward honoraries. Thanks so much for your time and talk to you soon.

TJ Firneno

Crew Sunday at 2

There will be a crew tomorrow at 2pm to finish the set and other things for The Glass Menagerie. All are welcome and encouraged to attend. Crew points are needed to get the Keenan-Lane Scholarship or your honorary alumni card.

Dr. Linda Kinnahan sent a letter to the English department thanking everyone for their support of Lifting Belly High, the recent women's poetry conference. She closes with a paragraph that says:
"John Lane and the Red Masquers presented an amazing show, "An Evening With 'The Mother of Us All'," that did more to help us understand Gertrude Stein than a dozen critical essays could do. Thank you, John, and all the Masquers."
