Notes: The 1985-86 Season marks the first season that COTH had a professional in the position of marketing director. The marketing director was responsible for the sales of subscription to a 4-play season (2 ND and 2 SMC). After subscription the marketing director sold single tickets for only Notre Dame COTH productions. At this time there were two independent producing units. Term ND/SMC Theatre was only a marketing tool which was used until ND expanded its season in 1990.
