Stull Discusses ‘Dear Evan Hansen’ Production in Fredericksburg Free Press
Professor of Theatre and Director of the School of the Arts Gregg Stull was featured in a Fredericksburg Free Press article, “UMW Theatre Tackles Loss and Hope in Dear Evan Hansen.”
In the article, Stull, who directs UMW’s production of Dear Evan Hansen, discusses the Tony Award-winning musical’s themes of grief, hope and human connection, as well as the opportunities the production provides for student actors to develop their skills. He emphasizes the importance of growth and learning in UMW’s theatre program and the show’s message of compassion and understanding.
“What draws me to the story is its hope,” Stull said. “A young man makes a mistake with the best of intentions, and because of it, he finally feels the kind of affirmation that has always eluded him.”
The production runs through Nov. 22 at Klein Theatre.
