David ‘Dstew’ Stewart: How USITT Got Me to the Guthrie

sightlines.usitt.org: David S. Stewart was perfectly happy as Academic Production Manager at Texas Performing Arts and UT-Austin when a friend suggested he apply for the production director job at the famed Guthrie Theater.

He laughed. “I was like, ‘No way, they’ll want someone with regional theatre chops, not an academic.’”

Then the Guthrie’s Human Resource Director called and asked him to apply. A UT colleague said, “When the Yankees of theatre call, you pick up the phone.”
