This week Dean Kevin Hamilton talks with Professor Lisa Gaye Dixon, Producer and Chair of the Acting Program in the Department of Theatre. Asked about what work she’s been drawing inspiration from lately, Lisa shared two examples – the 1977 song “Nantucket Island” from singer-songwriter Willie Wright, and the poem “When Death Comes” by Mary Oliver.
