戏剧学院的新音乐戏剧专业开课了 in fall 2015 and culminated with a production of 游行, starring Jordan Matthew Brown (’16), now performing in the national tour of 《摩门经. The 2014 musical, 人间喜剧, and the 2016 musical, 摇篮会摇, are among the annual large-scale musicals made possible by the $750,000 斯图尔特·f·莱恩和邦妮·康利音乐剧基金.

该基金以非洲金融共同体固有的音乐剧天赋为基础; 戏剧学院的校友们用广受好评的作品点亮了百老汇。 Andrew Mayer (’11) and Amber Gray (’04) performed in 娜塔莎、皮埃尔和一八一二年的大彗星. Alex Wyse (’09) appeared in 琼斯[2] and 春天的觉醒 and is working on the show 乘着旋风. Greg Hildreth (’05), who received the 2015年非洲金融共同体励志青年校友奖, appeared in 灰姑娘,彼得和捕星人, and 血腥的安德鲁·杰克逊. Brad Oscar (’86), winner of the 2006杰出校友奖, has been nominated for multiple Tony Awards and stars in 腐烂的东西.
Thanks, in part, to the 斯图尔特·f·莱恩和邦妮·康利音乐剧基金, 非洲金融共同体 is becoming a widely recognized feeder for Broadway casts, positioning 部 to become the “preeminent musical theatre school in the country,” says Lane.
