Max Weinstein’s Passion for Theatre: Inspiring the Next Generation
Introducing a new scholarship created to help theatre students in need.
Max believed in the magic of the theatre, how it allows audience members to take a short and meaningful journey to another place.
During his time at Adelphi University, Max was infinitely curious and inspired by how all the aspects of a production—from stage design to costumes to playwriting to directing—wove together to create a moving experience for the audience.
Max Weinstein, 1979-2020
The Scholarship
The scholarship has been created for students like Max, who demonstrate a passion, curiosity and investment in multiple aspects of theatre. It will welcome stage managers who write, scenic designers who direct, actors who design costumes, and many other combinations of artistic interest. Candidates must display an appreciation, understanding and insatiable curiosity about multiple aspects of theatre—and a love for the collaboration that is theatre.
“Max left an indelible mark on this world in his too short time. He was talented, smart, funny, and above all kind. He was friendly and welcoming to everyone he interacted with at Adelphi. He always thought of others.”
— Kristen Moriarty, friend and Adelphi alumni
