Dr. Andy Theising's New Publication Speaks to Ireland Audience

Andrew Theising, PhD, professor in the Department of Political Science and coordinator of the Initiative for Urban Research in the College of Arts and Sciences, had an unusual "publication" this month.

Theising was asked to write a brief essay on St. Louis for the Gate Theater in Dublin, Ireland, which is staging Tennessee Williams' "Glass Menagerie" this month.

The essay is a semi-biographical play set in St. Louis in the 1930s. Theising was asked to write the essay to explain the city to Dubliners, who don't know anything about it.

"It's fun to think that our region is being appreciated in other parts of the world," said Theising.
