Playbill | From the Director for the Arts

Welcome to University Theatre’s production of Muse, the world-premiere of our 2022 Creative Artist Award winning play.

This year’s winning playwright is Gaven Bell – University Theatre’s first two-time recipient of the Creative Artist Award. An impressive achievement, indeed, yet even more so in that scripts have no identifying features and are reviewed by an independent panel of professionals each year. Congratulations, Gaven!

Please join me in thanking Dr. Suzanne Kennedy-Stoskopf for her vision, several years ago, in starting the Suzanne Kennedy-Stoskopf Endowment for Creativity in the Performing Arts, which allows us to not only present these awards but to also provide workshop opportunities for students who wish to submit their work. Thank you, Suzanne!

I’m excited that you’ve chosen to support our students by attending this performance, and greatly appreciative of your support of live theatre here at NC State. I look forward to seeing many of you in person at this or other arts events throughout the remainder of this school year.

Rich Holly
Executive Director for the Arts
