ronto, Canada in October. In the
paper, he analyzes William Gib-
son’s science-fiction trilogy
which includes the novels “Neu-
romancer,” “Count Zero” and
“Mona Lisa Overdrive.” He ar-
gues that, even though the envi-
ronments in the books are sup-
posed to be dystopias, there are
groups who resist it and there
are utopian impulses.
Wright does research because
he has a love for intellectual in-
quiry and also feels it is part of
his job.
“Being a faculty member at a
university is more than the time
‘you spend in the classroom,”
Wright said. “If you didn’t do
anything outside of school, what
would you have to offer?”
Wright obtained his Bachelor
of Arts degree from Kenyon Col-
lege in Ohio and a Master of Arts
and Doctor of Philosophy de-
grees from the University of Wis-
consin-Madison. Formerly of
Chicago, he joined Misericordia
University in 1988 as a professor
in the history department. He
did his graduate work on French
history and specializes in it and
has done research in cultural and
intellectual history and cultural
studies.

Music Box creates academy for young adults
The Music Box Repertory
Company announces the cre-
ation of a Musical Theater Acade-
my for Young Adults.
Since the Playhouse was
opened in 1981, the troupe has re-
ached out to younger residents of
Northeastern Pennsylvania and
featured them in many of its most
successful productions. In the
years following, the work of Mu-
sic Box performers has been seen
on television, Broadway, off-
Broadway and in regional venues
all over the United States.
Beginning on March 25, the
same knowledge shared with
those successful performers will
be shared with a whole new gen-
eration of young adults, ages 13
to 18. Classes will overflow with
important performance tips and
etiquette, stagecraft skills and
practical knowledge along with
providing fun stage experience
and extensive training in how to
audition. In addition to attending
classes and receiving invaluable
tips, graduates will participate in
a very special, full-scale public
performance.
All instruction will be provided
by some of the Music Box’s most
recognizable adult performers,
state-certified educators and the-
atrical veterans overseen by Deb-
bie Zehner, an experienced teach-
er, performer and president of the
non-profit theater’s board of di-
rectors.
Faculty members already com-
mitted to the project include Mi-
chael Gallagher, Kevin Costley,
John Owen Kennedy, H. Blaine
McKeown, Jennifer Rogers, Joan
Moyer, Ron Araya and Zehner
with other familiar faces provid-
ing additional instruction and
some surprise guest appearanc-
es.
In order to facilitate individual-
ized instruction, class sizes will
be strictly limited. Please contact
the box office at 283-2195.
