Serials review update

Thanks to all of our terrific faculty partners in this project.  It’s been a big undertaking but the cost savings and shelf-spaced gained have been well worth it!

A new theatre exhibit, constructed by Rosa Schneider ’10, explores the inspirations for the production (in partial fulfillment of a thesis project by Allison Rangel) of William Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure.  The exhibit includes pictures from other productions, costume renderings and a set model, constructed by faculty members Darrin Pufall
