Yale alumni, teachers win Tony Awards

The Great White Way was ablaze with "Light and Verity" during this year's Tony Awards ceremony, when nine graduates of the School of Drama -- two of whom now teach there -- and three alumni of Yale College took home Broadway's most coveted prize.

Half of the 12 Yale laureates won for the musical hit "Light in the Piazza": Victoria Clark (Yale College '82), best actress in a musical; Adam Guettel
(YC '87), best score, and with Ted Sperling (YC '83), best orchestration; Michael Yeargan (Yale School of Drama [YSD] '73), professor (adjunct) and resident set designer at the School of Drama, best scenic design of a musical; Catherine Zuber (YSD '84), best costume design of a musical; and Christopher Akerlind (YSD '89), best lighting design of a musical.

* Best Play: Lynne Meadow ('71), artistic director of the Manhattan Theater Club, a producer of "Doubt, a Parable";

* Best Revival of a Play: Pun Bandhu ('01), founding partner of Zendog Productions, a producer of "Glengarry Glen Ross";
