Under the direction of Associate Professor of Theatre Chris Hatch, the cast of Much Ado About Nothing takes to the stage in the McDonald Theatre.

Much Ado About Theatre

HWS Theatre staged two productions in the Gearan Center for the Performing Arts this spring, including Much Ado About Nothing, Shakespeare’s classic comedy of romance and mistaken identity. The department recently received a boost thanks to an endowed scholarship commitment from Russell Kaltschmidt ’84. Thanks to a bequest from former Trustee James F. Anderton IV ’65, Kaltschmidt’s gift will receive a 50 percent match through the Anderton Impact Challenge for Scholarship and Financial Aid.

“Acting at HWS put me in the shoes of others, requiring me to adapt diverse perspectives — a practice we so need in today’s divided world,” says Kaltschmidt, a longtime actor, director and producer. “Theatre was very meaningful and rewarding for me. I hope this [scholarship fund] continues to elevate the visibility of, and the resources for, theatre at the Colleges.”
