"I think art changes lives, one person at a time," explained Carnegie Mellon University School of Drama Head, Robert Ramirez. "It feels small, but cumulatively... it's huge!"
The Tony Awards and Carnegie Mellon University are once again looking for the teachers who create the next generation of theatre artists. Each year they invite members of the public to submit candidates for the Excellence in Theatre Education Award by telling the story of a theatre educator who made a difference in their life, and the lives of others.
