UE Theatre he University of Evansville Theatre Department had the honor of being one of only two schools invited back to the presitigious American College Theatre Festival in Washington D.C. Yale and UE were chosen to present the play of their choice without going through the various levels of competition to reach the national performance in the spring. The only stipulation the ACTF placed on Evansville was that the piece be chosen and directed by Theatre Department Head Dr. John David Lutz. During the season four main plays and three studio productions were performed. The first main stage play of the season was “Guys and Dolls”. It was a musical directed by R.
