Obituaries: Professors Emeriti Doris Abramson and Vincent Brann
Editor's Note:
Just before the fall issue of Stages went to press, we were saddened to learn
of the passing of Professor Emeritus Vincent Brann, a fixture in the UMass
Amherst Department of Theater since its founding. Only three months later we
mourned the passing of Professor Emerita Doris Abramson, also among the department's
founders. For this tribute issue of Stages, we invited Brann and Abramson's
colleagues, students, and friends to tell us who they were and what it was
like to be here with them.
We have dedicated the spring Stages issue
(PDF) to remembrances of
both, and invite you to read and remember.
Although the issue is out now, we still encourage former students
and colleagues, as well as friends and community members, to send us their
memories and thoughts about both, which we will make part of the remembrances
posted here. You can email Anna-Maria
Goossens or send items to Anna-Maria's attention at Dept. of Theater,
Fine Arts Center 112,
University of Massachusetts Amherst,
151 Presidents Drive,
Amherst, MA 01003-9331.
In the meantime, below, please find links to obituary items on both Doris
Abramson and Vincent Brann that appeared in on-campus and local media following
