Tony Award-winning musician brings The Negro Problem to Madison stage

People know me as: Stew, fall 2011 artist-in-residence at UW-Madison, performing Monday at Vilas Hall with The Negro Problem featuring Heidi Rodewald. We are singers, songwriters, theater makers and adults.

Most inspiring moment at UW-Madison: The most inspiring moment I’ve had during my residency comes once a week when I get that songwriting assignment back from that student who is stretching her/himself as an artist in brave and challenging ways and not just coasting on their talents. Teaching is as rewarding to me as creating art, and far more heartbreaking.
