  It's that UNC's net, held up by new department chair Dan Guyette on one end, artistic director Tom McNally on the other, and supported in the middle by 17 faculty members, is made of pretty strong nylon.
  ...
  Back in 1987, when McNally applied for a faculty position at UNC, the notion that the theater department might soon be too big for its britches seemed unlikely, to say the least.
  
  It wasn't like UNC didn't have any theater history.One of actor Nick Nolte's first gigs was playing Robin Starveling in "A Midsummer Night's Dream" at UNC's Little Theatre of the Rockies in the summer of 1964.
  ...
  But when McNally became chair in 1988, there were only 67 majors, and the department was on the verge of being folded into another.
  
  The administration set McNally loose, with this charge: The more credit hours he could generate, the more money his department would get.The challenge turned the high-octane McNally into a high-school recruiter who could make CU football coach Gary Barnett look lazy.
  
  ...
  Senior Amy Rightmer, a nationally recruited musical-theater major from Eaglecrest High School, learned about McNally when the bottom dropped out of her world.
  
  She was set to join a prestigious acting conservatory at the University of Evansville (Ind.). "But my scholarship money fell through about two months before school started," she said."I ended up here because Tom found out and called my house every day for a week."
  
  University of Northern Colorado / Director of costuming David Loveless is shown fitting actress Leah Keith with a handmade corset for an October production of "The Seagull.' "We are not designing costumes,' he said, "we are making clothing."
  
  The least controversial thing McNally did was do away with "a rather bad" masters program, about the time the state was eliminating all grad programs except for CU-Boulder's."We said, "Let's just be the undergraduate place,' and boy, that's just been terrific," he said.
  
  ...
  Last year, McNally and musical theater chair Vance Fulkerson auditioned 800 students in 13 states and several countries for 20 acting and 20 musical-theater slots.
