WSU freshman wins Schwartz scholarship
Charity Farrell, a Wright State University freshman from Centerville, won The Human Race Theatre Company’s third annual Stephen Schwartz Musical Theatre Scholarship Monday, March 1, at the Mathile Theatre in the Schuster Performing Arts Center.
Andrew Koslow, a University of Oklahoma junior from Springboro, was chosen runner-up by a panel including Broadway and film composer Schwartz, who wrote the music and lyrics for the musical “Wicked.”
Farrell, who sang “A New Life” from the musical “Jekyll and Hyde” and “Stranger to the Rain” from Schwartz’s “Children of Eden,” won a $3,500 scholarship.
Koslow, who received $1,500, sang “Building a Wall” from the movie “Shrek” and “Dancing Through Life’ from “Wicked.” Five other finalists each received $150.
Daniel Torres, a cast member of “Wicked,” which is now playing at the Schuster Performing Arts Center, served as master of ceremonies. Others from that show performed between the contestants.

ERROR: Andrew Koslow is a Sophomore at the University of Oklahoma, not a Junior. Also, his first song was “Build A Wall,” and it’s from the musical version of “Shrek,” not the movie version.
