In Memoriam: Jonathan Wilson
We are deeply saddened by the death of Professor of Theatre Jonathan Wilson, who passed away suddenly on Sunday, June 23. Professor Wilson’s contributions to Loyola Theatre, to generations of theatre students and theater artists here and across the nation, as well as the world of American Theatre warrant tribute. Our thoughts are with Professor Wilson’s family, friends, and community.
Plans are underway for a memorial hosted by the Department of Fine and Performing Arts in the Fall. Click to read about Professor Wilson and sign up to receive details about the memorial when they are available.

It might look like your great aunt’s house, but it’s the set of Fairview, a Pulitzer prize-winning play by Jackie Sibblies Drury. DeRon Williams, PhD, is directing the show at Loyola this spring." - Vivian Ewing
