Schwartz, who graduated from CMU's College of Fine Arts in 1968, is the first of the composers in this series to return to work with junior music theater students on songs from his repertoire, including "Morning Glow" from "Pippin"; "For Good" from "Wicked"; and "The Spark of Creation" from "Children of Eden."

i come back and are so engaged with the students. Stephen seems like someone who is really interested in teaching the new generation about theatre and helping them become better artists. I Know this isn’t his first time here and he even mentioned how much he loves coming back to campus which I think is really great. There is always excitement in the air when alumni visit and I always think it’s crazy that award winners end up getting coffee at sandys, Its crazy! At CMU Stephen is pretty famous for writing Godspell and working with Susan on it here and then eventually moving it to Broadway. One really great thing about this school is that they offer opportunities to work with these successful alumni and get to hear great advice from them. The Junior cabaret is great opportunity for current MT students to work with a successful composing team and this year they really lucked out.
