Seabury Quinn, Jr. Has Passed:

We sadly note the passing of Seabury Quinn, Jr., the original playwriting professor who taught in the OU MFA playwriting program for decades until his retirement in the early 1990's. Seabury died on Saturday. He will be fondly remembered for his acerbic wit in responding to new plays, especially in recent years -- no matter how ill he had become, he always found a way to visit the new play festival named in his honor and generously give his opinion on the work at hand. Many will fondly remember his laugh, which was often just a single, expolsive "Hah!"
