About
the Directors
Mr. Bogner and Mr. Stephens Co-Head the Theatre
Department at LHHS. Mr. Bogner graduated from Baylor
University in 2001 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Acting
Performance and is a certified teacher in 6-12 Theatre. His
favorite adage? "You have to be wise to have wisdom."
Despite the inanity of the remark, wisdom is a quality that is
vastly undervalued by our society. Anyone can be blessed with
natural talent or intelligence. But wisdom if something far
more valuable and only comes through experience, an open mind and
discernment. For those of you wondering about
his first name, Beauen - the root "Beau" means "handsome" and the
"en" suffix ... we have no idea. Perhaps it was an after
thought, as in, "Gee that's a handsome baby ... sort of." The
name is phonetically pronounced "Bowen", as in: Go shoot a "bow",
put the cake in the ov-"en". This year, Mr. Bogner will direct
Little Shop of Horrors and Princess Jules Rules the
World. Mr. Stephens is married to
Carrie Fisher Stephens. They had their first baby, Scout, last
winter, and are expecting another one on the way. He breeds
Great Danes, enjoys guns and theatre. He has nine years of
teaching experience and has previously taught at W.T. White.
He is a graduate of Texas State University with a degree in Theatre
Education.
