PEACE PLAY CONTEST ANNOUNCES FIRST TWO-TIME WINNER
Longstanding Theater Chair Retires
Long time Professor of Theater, Doug Liechty Caskey, is one of five faculty members retiring this year from Goshen College. Doug has made invaluable contributions to our programming including co-developing the tri-disciplinary “Arts in London” May Term course that he has co-taught 10 times since 1999 and directing 25 full-length productions. Doug’s dedication to the Theater Department and the GC community has been significant. We hope Doug “breaks a leg!” and we are excited for him as he begins this new adventure; however, we are greatly saddened to lose the leadership, energy, and spirit of collaboration Doug has provided for so many years.
