Theatre Columbus State director Frank Barnhart takes award

The 8th Annual Central Ohio Theatre Roundtable Awards presented its 2007 Excellence in Directing Award to Frank Barnhart, for his production of the Triangle Factory Fire Project, presented last autumn by Theatre Columbus State.

The drama, written by Christopher Piehler, concerned an historic 1911 catastrophe that killed 186 immigrant factory workers in Manhattan.

This is director Barnhart's second consecutive award in the category, after receiving 2006 honors for Theatre Columbus State's production of The Laramie Project. Dean of Arts & Sciences Jack Cooley praised Barnhart's honor as "yet another instance of faculty excellence at CSCC," and a tribute to Columbus State's Theatre program.
