I am saddened to report that Emeritus Professor of Theatre Bill Coleman passed away on July 8. Doc Coleman, as his students called him, retired from Drake in 2000 after 37 years as a member of the Theatre department, teaching generations of students. He had a prolific career as a writer and director, one that he continued to enjoy to the very end. In case you missed it, there was a wonderful feature about him in the Des Moines Register and in the most recent issue of Drake Blue magazine.
