Dramatic art names chair

Raymond E. Dooley has been named chair of the dramatic art department effective July 1 for a five-year term.

On the undergraduate level he teaches acting and dramatic literature, and on the graduate level he teaches acting in the professional actors training program.

He has served on the Administrative Board of the College of Arts and Sciences and on the subcommittee on instructional personnel. Within the community he is a parishioner and acolyte adviser at the Chapel of the Cross.

Dooley's primary focus is in acting. He is a member of Actors Equity and Screen Actors Guild, as well as the American Federation of Radio and Television Artists, Canadian Actors Equity Association, and the Association for Theatre in Higher Education.

He's also been a member of the PlayMakers Repertory Company at Carolina since 1989, and during that time has performed more than 30 roles. He opened this year on Sept. 9 as Arnolphe in Moliere's classic comedy The School for Wives, which runs through Oct. 1.

In more than 20 years as a professional actor, Dooley has worked in theater throughout the U.S. and Canada, on and off Broadway, in films -- most recently the locally shot Stonebrook -- and on television -- most frequently in daytime dramas, including One Life to Live and Another World.

Dooley received a Village Voice Obie award for his distinguished performance in Peer Gint at CSC Repertory in New York.

He received his master's degree in acting from the American Conservatory Theatre.
