Christine McHugh ’82, recently finished directing a new play in New Mexico, called Flight Plan by Marguerite Scott at the Santa Fe Playhouse.  The Artistic Director of the Sante Fe Playhouse happens to be, Vaughn Irving, who received  a BFA in Musical Theatre from IWU in 2006.  Christine noted that Vaughn’s been in this role for about three years now and “his vision and talent are totally transforming the Santa Fe theatre scene”.  McHugh lost one of the leads in the show nine days before opening and Vaughn gamely stepped in as a replacement and “was brilliant!”, according to McHugh.  “One of the best actors I’ve ever worked with and I’m sure a lot of that has to do with Wesleyan.  Twenty-four years after I left McPherson and it would appear that the talent just keeps getting better.”
