Sister Helen Prejean Visits Ashland as part of the University's Dead Man Walking School Theatre Project In February 2008 Ashland University hosted the Dead Man Walking School Theatre Project, a campus-wide series of events designed to create dialogue on capital punishment, an issue currently at debate in the courts. In addition to the Department of Theatre's production of Dead Man Walking and the many other events surrounding this Project, Sister Helen Prejean, author of the book on which the production is based, discussed her experiences with the death penalty on Saturday, February 23, 2008, in Hugo Young Theatre. About 400 were in attendance for the lecture and book signing. Sister Helen also attended the performance that evening and offered her praise on our efforts with the Project.
