‘As a little girl I looked to my father for advice’—Award-Winning Theater Director Susan Stroman

“As a little girl growing up in Wilmington, Delaware, whenever I found myself in a conundrum I looked to my father for advice. And always he offered the same encouragement: ‘Ask yourself, What’s the worst that could happen? Someone might tell you no, but there’s no harm in that.’ “[My advice to graduates is to] Just take a chance.
Ask the question.” —American theater director, choreographer, film director, and performer Susan Stroman, recipient of five Tony Awards.
