George D. Archambeault, director of "A Man For All Seasons" said the play "has been a successful play in our society because the similarity of conditions of 1529 and present times, or any era when challenges of entrenched social and personal philosophies are made."

In such societies, men or heroes like Sir Thomas More, the apotheosis of human integrity, must and do come forth. It is because the play deals with these ingredients that we in the Theatre Arts Department are so enthusiastically involved in "A Man For All Seasons."
