He joined the English Department in the fall of 1988, following teaching at Central Michigan University.

    Prof. Magnuson has served as the director of the Anselmian Abbey Players since fall of 1988. In this capacity he annually directs the theatre productions presented by the Abbey Players during the school year. Recent productions include Into the Woods (2011), As You Like It (2009), The Crucible (2008), The Shadow Box (2007), The Mousetrap (2006), The Taming of the Shrew (2004), Arsenic and Old Lace (2003), Rumors (2002), The Diary of Anne Frank (2001), and A Midsummer Night's Dream (2000).
