Stockton University, Composer Jude Obermüller as Musical Director

ARTIST IN RESIDENCE / Into the Woods

David Reiser, head of the brand new Musical Theatre department at Stockton University, invited Jude to be the Resident Musical Director for the first half of 2017. Jude visited the campus in Atlantic City, NJ twice a week. There, he worked very closely with Prof. Reiser's inaugural BA class on everything from repertoire, acting through song and the history of the form - to ensemble performance, musicianship & sensibility, and the future of the form. Jude's engagement culminated in a production of Into the Woods (dir. David Reiser) - offering the students the opportunity to rigorously apply the skills they had worked hard on developing under Jude's guidance.
