Buckle up PAD Podcast listeners! The next two episodes of the #PADPod feature the original godfather of the PAD and the man who arrived in St. Louis in 1987 to build a department from the ground up: Henry Schvey! It seems like Henry has been at the heart of the Performing Arts Department for forever — in fact, it’s been 39 years since he began his notable career at WashU. As a teacher, director, and scholar, he has made significant contributions to the department, the university, and of course the lives of his beloved students. Many of you know Henry and have taken classes with Henry, but perhaps you don’t know the full backstory about how the Performing Arts Department was formed and how Henry came to create an amalgam of a department dedicated to both study and practice unlike any other in the country. This Part One episode is called “Early Years to Equus” where Henry talks about his upbringing in New York, his time teaching in Leiden, and his arrival at WashU. If you love Henry, you’ll not want to miss listening to this one!
