A special four-guest episode, HB Studio hosts a virtual conversation with the four Uta Hagen Award Recipients: Kelly Quinnett (2019 Awardee, University of Idaho), Yesenia Herrington (2022 Awardee from Texas State University), Katherine LeRoy-Lawson (2023 Awardee from South Georgia State College), and Jenny McKnight (2024 Awardee from Indiana University). Join us as we explore each journey that led to teaching theatre in higher education, connecting with students, mental health support, teaching artist styles, seeking opportunities for student artists, and their time in our Hagen Teacher’s Lab.

The Uta Hagen Award is offered through College of Fellows of the American Theatre, in celebration of the Uta Hagen centennial and the 2020 centennial of the women’s vote (a voice for all women). Led by Bonnie Nelson Schwartz, the recipients are awarded a scholarship to study at HB Studio’s one-week teaching artist intensive program, Hagen Teacher’s Lab. Led by Mark Nelson and Carol Rosenfeld.
