LEHMAN STAGES AND THE SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL...CLOSER THAN YOU THNK!

Cary Fukunaga winner of the 1st Bronx Independent Film Festival (presented by The Bronx Stage and Film Company and Lehman Stages) for his short film "Kofi" is the winner of the 2009 Sundance Film Festival’s Directing Award in the U.S. Dramatic competition for Sin Nombre. His film also received the Excellence in Cinematography Award.

Cary was a judge for the 2007 Bronx Independent Film Festival.

Our congratulations to a great filmaker and a good friend of The Bronx Independent Film Festival.

Gabby Sidibe, a wonderful actress and singer who has performed with Lehman Stages and the Theatre Program at Lehman, stars in PUSH, a film by Lee Daniels, based on the novel by Sapphire. The film was the hot ticket at Sundance and won the Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award.

Gabby auditioned for the role here at Lehman after being recommended to the casting director by Henry Ovalles, assistant director of Lehman Stages

We love you Gabby!

Lehman Theatre MFA Program Survey
Members of the Theatre Program faculty at Lehman College are currently developing a
Master of Fine Arts graduate program in Theatre, designed to give all enrolled students
expertise in several different aspects of Theatre at once—Acting AND Directing AND
Playwriting AND Producing—so that students who graduate from the program will be
well-equipped to enter the professional theatre and have the practical skills to develop
and produce their own work. This program will be an accelerated 30-credit MFA
program, with a duration of two years (including a summer between the first and the
second year of graduate study). One of the requirements will be an internship with a
professional theatre company, during which students will have the opportunity to focus
on a particular area of interest.
This is an anonymous survey: No need to tell us your name (unless you want to)
Please slide your completed survey under Prof. Case’s door (Speech 110). Thanks!
