Meet the Theatre Faculty

Elizabeth Carlin-Metz, Chair
Professor of Theatre
M.F.A., Temple University, 1983
"I seek to integrate physical theatre techniques with more traditional Western theatre practices so as to discover new levels of expressiveness and meaning in theatre of all styles and genres and, thus, in the world."

Neil Blackadder
Professor of Theatre
Ph.D., Princeton University, 1994
"Most recently I've been translating contemporary German-language drama. My translation of Swiss playwright Lukas Bärfuss' The Sexual Neuroses of our Parents has been produced in London and New York; other play translations have been published in journals, and I directed Rebekka Kricheldorf's Rosa and Blanca with students at Knox in 2008."

Craig Choma
Associate Professor of Theatre
M.F.A., Carnegie- Mellon University, 1996
[working in Chicago]"provides students with unique opportunities to work on professional Chicago productions while maintaining their studies at Knox."

Jeff Grace
Assistant Professor of Theatre
Ph.D., Theatre History, Theory, and Literature, Indiana University, 2008
"My dissertation examines representations of homosexual visibility that occurred in plays presented at the Caffe Cino, a small New York coffeehouse that pioneered the 1960s Off-Off-Broadway movement."

Writer-in-Residence

Sherwood Kiraly
B.A., Knox College, 2007
"Good writing, on page, stage or screen, has provoked, consoled, delighted, moved and inspired me all my life, so creating it -- or helping someone else do so -- is the best way I can think of to justify myself."
