<p>I don’t remember seeing an official announcement, but from what I’ve heard and according to this article [Bell</a> Named Donald G. Robertson Professor of Music Theatre : Northwestern University Newscenter](<a href=“http://www.northwestern.edu/newscenter/stories/2009/08/bellhonor.html]Bell”>Bell Named Donald G. Robertson Professor of Music Theatre: Northwestern University News), David Bell has been named Director of MT, which will be a very positive thing for the program.</p>
<p>David is an award-winning director and choreographer and a wonderful person. I should let an NU student or faculty member give the detail, but my son is a senior and has been David’s student since '06, and has performed in productions with him as director, both at NU and in regional theater. David has been a wonderful mentor and my son thinks very highly of him.</p>
