Bundy stages last production as dean
Yale Repertory Theatre closed out 2025 with a new production of Henrik Ibsen’s masterpiece Hedda Gabler, translated from the Norwegian by Paul Walsh (faculty). Staged by James Bundy ’95MFA—his last production while serving in his dual roles as Elizabeth Parker Ware Dean of David Geffen School of Drama and artistic director of Yale Rep—the show featured Austin Durant ’10MFA, Marianna Gailus ’17, Felicity Jones Latta, Stephanie Machado ’18MFA, Max Gordon Moore ’11MFA, Mary Lou Rosato (faculty), and James Udom ’18CDR.
“I’m so happy to have been able to reach out to actors I admire and adore and have them all say yes,” said Bundy. “Every Ibsen play is an opportunity to reclaim the power and scope of great drama, not as an historical or museum exercise but as an interpretive and craft-based investigation that is deeply human and theatrically satisfying.” Bundy steps down as DGSD dean and the Rep’s artistic director on June 30 after more than 20 years in the roles.
