"At the beginning of the fall semester,
a rumor circulated that the faculty
was planning to shut No Shame down.
To this day, I am not sure exactly how much of this rumor was true
or how it even got started.
But what is true is that Amy Lynn Pigott drew up a petition to save
No Shame, and after this outpouring of support from students,
department chair Cosmo Catalano expressed that he had no intention of
putting an end to No Shame Theatre
and the tragedy (real or imagined) was averted.
