Professor Christopher Gottschalk, head of the Theater Program, directed the play and commented that on a daily basis he learns from his students as much as they learn from his teaching and that this was especially true with producing Julius Caesar. 

Julius Caesar portrays the conspiracy against the famous Roman emperor of the same name and touches important themes such patriotism, loyalty and friendship.
