Austin Harleson Brings Broadway to Reinhardt
The off-Broadway musical “Here There Be Dragons” premiered at The Players Theatre in New York City over the summer – and its director was Reinhardt’s own Austin Harleson, adjunct instructor of theatre.
Harleson met “Here There Be Dragons” book writer and lyricist, Chase O’Neill, in the summer of 2018 while working at the American Shakespeare Center in Virginia. “We stayed in contact,” says Harleson, “and in January 2020, Chase sent me the script asking for feedback.”

Devin Ware, On Preserving the Legacy of George Scarbrough
When senior Devin Ware began their journey at Reinhardt, they had no idea where the road would lead. “I spent several years after high school working with my father in electrical construction. It was not a good fit for me,” Ware says.
Seeking a new path, Ware turned to Reinhardt, where their brother had attended school. Declaring “Writing is my passion!” it is no surprise Ware chose to major in creative writing. “When I was growing up, I thought writing was just a personal experience, not thinking of it as a career. Reinhardt is helping me make that career a reality.”
