Theatre Design & Technology - Fall 1987 - 4

NEW EDITOR
FOR TD&T

fter ten years, I have decided to
step down as editor of Theatre
Design & Technology. Other obligations prevent me from devoting the
necessary time and energy to the journal. As USIIT continues to grow, the
Board of Directors has decided to
combine several editorial jobs, and to
expand the responsibility of the editor.
The Institute is seeking an Editor/
Manager for all USIIT publications.
This will be a full-time position, combining the editorship of TD& T, the
monthly USIIT Newsletter, the annual
membership directory, the Biennial
Scenography Exposition Catalog, and
miscellaneous Institute publications.
Salary is competitive. The position
begins in July 1988. Applicants should
send a resume and appropriate materials by January 15, 1988 to:
USIIT Editor/Manager
