“We are thrilled to have three fine actors recognized for their individual hard work and talent,” said Steve Broyles, Wesleyan director of theater. “Being nominated for a Shuler is a high honor and approximately 75 schools in the state had productions evaluated for the awards process. The nominations speak to the talent of these three students and the contributions they make to the Wesleyan community through theater.”

In addition to student nominations, Wesleyan’s Costume Coordinator Judy Beaman was also honored with an honorable mention nod for costumes in “Tuck Everlasting.”

Presented as the Shuler Hensley Awards and known as “The Shuler Awards” or “Shulers,” the education program is named for the Atlanta-born star of the stage and screen. The awards are a program of the ArtsBridge Foundation.
