AROUND THE QUADS
Quigley, McNally Add to Varsity Show
Four-time Tony Award winner Terrence McNally ’60 received
the inaugural I.A.L. Diamond [’41] Award for Achievement in
the Arts from Dean Austin Quigley at a reception prior to the April
17 performance of the 110th edition of the Varsity Show.
McNally, a member of the 66th Varsity Show, is best-known
for his plays Frankie and Johnny at the Claire de Lune,
Kiss of the Spider Woman, The Rink and Ragtime.
The Varsity Show is one of Columbia’s oldest traditions,
having been founded in 1894, and pokes fun at campus life. This
year’s show was directed by David Paul ’04, produced
by Paul Gelinas ’04 and Chris Keitel ’04 and written
by C. Mason Wells ’06 and Spencer Kaplan ’04. It featured
a cast of 20 and included a special appearance by Dean Quigley.
The show was choreographed by Sarabeth Berman ’06 Barnard
and included 13 songs composed by Jaime Madell ’06 with lyrics
by Ellen Reid ’05.
In addition to McNally and Diamond, other distinguished Varsity
Show alumni include Richard Rodgers ’23, Oscar Hammerstein
’16, Lorenz Hart ’18 and Herman Mankiewicz ’17.
