UNL's Steger Selected for National Theatre Conference
Paul Steger, director of the Johnny Carson School of Theatre and Film at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, has been invited to join the prestigious National Theatre Conference. Founded in 1925, the NTC is a cooperative association of distinguished leaders of the American theatre -- university, community and professional. Membership to the conference is by invitation only and is limited to 120 members.
"I am profoundly humbled and deeply honored to have been voted into the National Theatre Conference," Steger said. "The list of members, a virtual 'who's who' of the professional and academic theatre, are committed to celebrating theatre organizations and individuals who have had a tremendous impact on the professional and academic theatre arenas. Being a part of this organization brings the Johnny Carson School of Theatre and Film, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and our programs and initiatives into a national spotlight and dialogue. These relationships will help to firmly establish the School's national reputation and provide opportunities for future collaborations with the profession." more...
