CMU, Tony Awards teaming to honor teachers in the arts

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: Almost everyone who is anyone in the performing arts had a Mr. Mayberry, that teacher who encouraged or inspired actors, singers, dancers, designers, even producers, to dedicate themselves to the theater.
Thanks to a new collaboration between Carnegie Mellon University and The American Theatre Wing's Tony Awards, some finally will be getting long-overdue recognition.

Jesus, this article just reminds me how freaking lucky I am to be at this school. This is an insane article. I cant believe this, "Carnegie Mellon has the oldest drama degree-granting program in the United States. It has produced hundreds of Tony nominees and 31 Tony winners, including eight last year. Ninety-nine Emmys have been won by alums, as well as six Academy Awards." That is just crazy. Its a great idea to recognize the inspiration providers for everything they do for theatre world. That's where it all starts!
