Victoria Bussert and the Music Theatre program she directs at Baldwin-Wallace University is legendary among agents in New York City. These normally jaded and unimpressed professionals wouldn't think of missing her annual showcase in the city, where her students strut their stuff. Lately, every single graduate has been signed by an agent, an impressive accomplishment.
Now she's mounting the first production of Follies in the Cleveland area in 25 years. She knows because she mounted the last one. Usually considered too large, complicated and challenging for University students, Bussert relishes the opportunity to put her talented students (and a few faculty) on stage. So many good students, in fact, that she's double-casting the leads. Watch her engaging Cool Cleveland interview, complete with blackout, here.
It would be folly to wait. Get your tickets soon, as the production only runs 8 nights: November 8-11 and 15-18. BW.edu

Adams Street Cemetery Project
History project turned into theatre piece
When Dr. Indira Gesink, chair of the history department at Baldwin-Wallace College was approached by the City of Berea and the Berea American Legion to help identify a few veterans' graves after the keeper at the nearby Adams Street Cemetery suddenly died, she had no idea it would lead to this.Watch this video and find out how identifying the 22 veterans and their grave sites was just the beginning. The students mapped the cemetery, found 116 graves, worked with the biology department to learn tree coring to identify age, created a walking tour, worked with the communications department to help train volunteers to interview veterans for an oral history project, and are now working on the history of the Polish in the region. When B-W theatre legend Jack Winget got wind of the project, he proposed a docu-drama, and now history students and theatre students are collaborating on a theatre piece to be presented at the Kleist Center for Art & Drama on Wed 4/28 & Thu 4/29. http://www.bw.edu
