Stewart is currently the education director for the Utah Shakespeare Festival. His interest in theatre began in fifth grade when he was cast as Kurt in his elementary school production of The Sound of Music. That experience during his formative years galvanized a lifetime in theatre and education. He earned a bachelor’s degree in theatre arts education from Brigham Young University and a master’s in education administration from Grand Canyon University. Stewart spent fourteen wonderful years as a high school theatre teacher before making a big move with his family to the Caribbean to teach at a private school on the island of St. Croix. Two category-five hurricanes and a pandemic later, Stewart and family moved to Netarts, Oregon, to continue a career in theatre education. While he misses the ocean, he is delighted to be back in Utah and part of such an incredible institution for theatre and education.
