Dr. Jay Ball and Jerry Dougherty (Theatre Production Mgr) have teamed up to present a paper at the American Society for Theatre Research's national conference being held in Portland next week. Entitled "Van Tac Vu Theatre During the Vietnam War," this paper represents a collaboration between Ball, a Theatre Historian, and Dougherty, who is a Iraq war veteran and current Lt. Col. in the US Army Reserve. In this research, Ball and Dougherty worked to combine traditional Humanities scholarship with Dougherty's experience and training military officer. The pair present their findings on November 6th.
