In 1995 the family of independent filmmaker, Beth Kotler, (BA '95, Drama Honours) generously donated $5,000 to the Drama Department. The interest generated from this fund helps to defray some of the expenses for students to see professional productions, attend special events or leave campus to do research related to production work. This past April (2007) 20 drama students traveled to Montreal to see a production of Romeo & Juliet at The Centaur Theatre. Directed by Gordon McCall the show offered a contemporary staging of Shakespeare's most beloved play.
The Drama Department invites other graduates of the program or friends of Bishop's to make donations to the Kotler Fund so that the Department can continue to augment and develop its program to best meet the needs and interests of students. Such new contributions would not only enable the Department to increase the number of students able to go on these field trips, but also help the Department sponsor much-needed specialized workshops, professional development seminars or other worthy projects.
