G. Marlyne Sexton has made a $15 million gift to SMU Meadows

Postby AfricanMustang » Mon May 01, 2023 11:12 am

Philanthropist and Broadway producer G. Marlyne Sexton has made a $15 million gift to SMU Meadows School of the Arts to create a specialization in musical theatre that will prepare graduates for a lifetime of leading roles.

Sexton's gift provides endowments for both the new G. Marlyne Sexton Institute for Musical Theatre and the G. Marlyne Sexton Director of Musical Theatre – and operating funds to enable their work to begin during the 2023-2024 school year.

The Sexton Institute for Musical Theatre will provide an education in one of the most popular and distinctly American forms of performance art. Musical theatre students enrolled in the program will participate in cutting-edge productions and gain valuable training and expertise from internationally recognized faculty and performers.
