Note: The Department dedicates this production of Cloud Tectonics to the memory of the Reverend Eugene F. Gorski, C.S.C. (January 7, 1932–January 3, 2015). Father Gene was a wonderful person, priest, and professor who vigorously supported the performing arts at Notre Dame throughout his long and distinguished career. His involvement with Notre Dame Theatre began on the Washington Hall stage in February 1955 when he played the lead role in Cyrano de Bergerac (with students Phil Donahue as Le Bret and Reg Bain as Ligniere). His passion for theatre at Notre Dame continued through the fall 2014 semester when he enthusiastically endorsed our production of two student-written plays that dealt with issues related to sexual orientation, saying, “What an achievement!” The Department celebrates his life and mourns his death.
