His Records of Early English Drama: Bristol (1997) was the thirteenth volume in the REED series, which has as its goal the location, transcription, and editing of documents pertaining to theatre, drama, music, and minstrelsy in Britain before 1642. Founding Director of Theatre AUM in 1975 (the production arm of the Department of Theatre at Auburn University at Montgomery) and the New Playwrights Workshop in 1998 (a production outlet for student-written one-act plays at Notre Dame), he directs regularly for the Notre Dame FTT season, including most recently Artaud’s Spurt of Blood in 2008. He served as chair of the department for thirteen years between 1984 and 2003.
