<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Palatino-Roman">I wrote you about 18 months ago about an opening for an Assistant Professor of Scenic & Lighting Design for the University of Mary Washington. As we suspected, finding a strong candidate with skills
in both disciplines is much harder today than it was when we hired our recently retired faculty member 34 years ago! We have reopened our search and are now focused on the single discipline—<b>Visiting Assistant Professor of Scenic Design. </b><o:p></o:p></span></p>

one hour south of Washington, DC and our theatre department, while not terribly well known just yet, is very strong. In the last several years we have experienced newfound support from the administration and we are really at a very exciting place in our history.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
