A Director of the Yale School of Drama Master in Fine Arts program in Stage Management has notified SOU’s student, Robert Chikar as one of the four students in the nation that would be accepted into the program for this year. Chikar will receive full tuition remission and he will receive an assistantship that will allow him to work with leading directors, designers, and performers from around the world. Another student stage manager at SOU, Kim Freimoeller, won the KCACTF Region 7’s award for excellence in Stage Management. She won an all expense paid trip to the Kennedy Center to attend workshops and career development seminars.
I found this article to be extremely interesting because of how much success one school is having in one area of theatre. They must have great leadership leading them in order to have this much success. I also enjoyed reading this article because we were just learning about grad school in Career Prep class. It was interesting to see that there really is an interst for stage managers for grad school and stage management can go for if they know what they are doing and talking about. SOU seems to be putting out excellent work.
