<p>That is terrific! This will impact the Yale Repertory Theatre (the professional theatre company at Yale), and the Yale Drama School (graduate school) wonderfully!</p>

<p>The trickle down for undergraduates will be great as well… offering them the opportunity to be on a campus where they will have the chance to see even more new musical theatre and theatre work! </p>
