phases of the master plan,”
said Philip Owen, a member
of the theatre staff, “and right
now, unless a donor comes
along and earmarks money
for a new theater, we are not
at the head of that cue.”
“This theatre has housed
many fine productions,” artis-
tic director Ev Lunning said.
“We continue to grow with
the idea that we’re going to
stay in this home for a while.”
This summer, St. Edward’s
University will sponsor four

three different continents.
These sessions will provide
many opportunities for stu-

For the students, however,
their spring break won’t just
be all work and no play A lit-
tie relaxation and sight-seeing
time is incorporated into each
trip. Lohmeier says of this
part of the trips, “These sites
offer opportunities to have
fun such as hiking, camping,
going to a museum, hanging
out at a campfire, listening to
music, etc. — because after all
it is spring break and we want
to have a fun and relaxing time
too.”

volunteer their time helping
