About the Author

Philip H. Dillard (Ed.D., Indiana University) teaches courses in instructional media for Southern Utah University. An unrepentant Savoyard, he delights in Gilbert's witty lyrics and sense of the absurdity of the human condition and in Sullivan's inexhaustible supply of beautiful melodies and harmonies.
