Bronco Mendenhall talks on family, faith and football.

Bronco Mendenhall is entering his 7th season as BYU's head football coach. He grew up in Alpine, Utah where his parents taught him a strong work ethic. But when he went to Oregon State as a junior, he knew something was missing…a testimony of the Book of Mormon. He locked himself in his bedroom and for 3 days read the Book of Mormon all the way through. It was an experience that shaped his testimony forever, and helped him become the husband, father and football coach he is today.

Helping converts avoid culture shock.

Joining the Mormon faith can be a culture shock for some. Changes in lifestyle are sometimes the biggest challenges. A new book titled, "I'm a Mormon Now What", helps new converts transition into the church more easily, and gives definition to some unique LDS terminology. For example, a "stake" center is not a "steak" center.

Two Univ of Md Grad Students begin their careers with Book of ...

If you enjoy the biggest hit of the year, you may well envy one of those assistants, Ariel Benjamin. Among the things she had to do for MacDevitt was sit through two whole weeks of performances of the show – tough work, but somebody’s got to do it!

MacDevitt had two grad students acting as assistants at the time that his work on The Book of Mormon  was coming to fruition: Benjamin, who had her Bachelors from the State University of New York at New Paltz, and Jonathan Dillard, whose undergraduate work had been at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.

They helped in his office in the Clarice Smith Center on the College Park, Maryland campus doing research, maintaining records, keeping up with the filing while helping him keep current on his chores as an Associate Professor of Lighting Design in the University’s School of Theatre, Dance and Performance Studies.

For the pair, it was an opportunity to get not just a view of work on a single show, but of the processes that have served him well over a lengthy career as a lighting designer. His career includes over fifty Broadway shows during the past two decades and stretches back to a short time as an assistant to William Mintzer working on shows at DC’s Arena Stage and a longer stint at the old Harlequin Dinner Theatre and the touring company that grew out of its repertoire, Troika Entertainment.

In 2007, MacDevitt decided to relocate from the New York area, where, he realized,  he was taking on altogether too many shows to allow any time to be part of the lives of his wife and their two children. He wanted to return to the teaching he had so enjoyed when he was on the faculty of his alma mater, the State University of New York at Purchase. He chose the University of Maryland under the leadership of Daniel MacLean Wagner.

The Masters of Fine Arts program at Maryland has between fifteen and seventeen students enrolled at a time, each taking classes, working on University shows, conducting classes as teaching assistants and doing conceptual design projects. They also work twenty-hours a week earning a stipend through the student assistance program. Among the duties they perform is assisting members of the faculty such as MacDevitt.
