Dear
Park Tudor Community,
From the Head’s Desk
It’s hard to believe that it has already been a year since I moved to Indianapolis and began my tenure as Park Tudor’s Head of School – a new city, a new school, a new adventure! And what a wonderful adventure this first year has been. When I chose to take this role at PT, I came with many hopes. I was hopeful that Park Tudor would be what it seemed to be during my prior visits: a school committed to providing a challenging, engaging academic program in which the arts and athletics are essential components; a school with students who are kind, curious, and eager to take advantage of these opportunities; a school with a talented faculty deeply committed to helping all of their students reach their full potential; and finally, a school community founded on respect and integrity that strives each day to be inclusive. And over the past year, as I sat in on classes, spoke with members of the faculty and staff, visited with parents and alumni, and attended athletics, arts, and so many other events, I found that PT was exactly what I hoped for and more.
While handing out the diplomas to our seniors at graduation, I couldn’t help but note that each graduate was embarking on their own wonderful adventure based upon their own individual hopes and dreams. As you look over the list of colleges and universities that they will attend, I encourage you to think about the impressive variety of the places where they have landed. We have graduates attending schools as large as 47,000 students and as small as 835. We have graduates enrolling at schools that focus on engineering, business, aeronautics, art, and music, and others attending more traditional liberal arts institutions. We have graduates matriculating at public and private institutions. And we have graduates who will be attending schools in 18 states and the District of Columbia. The diversity of their plans is a product
of a thoughtful, personalized process during which our college counseling team helped each student find their way to a school that matched their individual goals and needs – the school best suited to help them pursue their dreams. I am confident that their adventures, like mine, will be all that they hoped for and more.
As these graduates head off for their next adventure, I will be beginning my second year as PT’s Head of School. While I am excited about many things for next year, I am particularly eager to kick off the school’s strategic planning process, which will start in September. This process isn’t that different from the process I engaged in before accepting the headship at Park Tudor or the one the graduates undertook during the college application process, as the strategic planning process will help Park Tudor define its hopes and dreams and set us on our course for the school’s next exciting chapter. What a wonderful adventure it will be!

PT Legacy Initiative Celebrated 25 Years with New Book and Launch Event on
Park Tudor’s Legacy Initiative marked its 25th anniversary this year with the publication of the new book Your European Correspondent Alma De Luce 1939-1941, containing wartime correspondence written by Alma De Luce, wife of AP Press and Pulitzer Prize recipient, Daniel De Luce. Alma and Dan arrived in England in spring 1939. The next assignment brought them to Budapest, Hungary, so that Dan could be closer to the action. From there Dan traveled to Poland to report on the electrifying events of September 1, 1939. The De Luces always remained close to the action and frequently they were just a step ahead of the German Army. Park Tudor students assisted with research and compilation of the correspondence in the book under the guidance of Kathryn Lerch, Legacy Initiative Coordinator.
The Legacy Initiative hosted a book signing event to mark the occasion on April 28. Copies of the book are available for purchase at parktudor.org/legacy.

Girls Lacrosse
On June 1, the girls lacrosse team finished its season as a SemiState Champion and the INGLA Class 1A runner-up. Though the team fell to Center Grove 11-7 in the State Championship game, the season was an unqualified success, seeing the team reach back-to-back Final Fours and emerge victorious 18-16 over a tough Evansville Central team on May 29 to reach the Championship game.
The team ended its stellar season with a record of 13-6, including 12-2 against 1A opponents. PT outscored its opponents by a cumulative margin of 274-126 over the course of the season. In addition to the team’s Semi-State victory, major moments included a dominant 13-3 win over 2A Brebeuf on March 21, a 16-3 win over Brownsburg on May 5 (when Brownsburg was ranked #3 in 1A), and the Sectional Championship on May 22 - a 17-4 win over Avon.
Individual accolades also accompanied the team’s success. Defenders Chloe Anderson and Charlotte Sturman, midfielder Ellie Hunter, and attackers Hadley Murphy and Lauren Richer were named to the All-Sectional Team. Sturman and Hunter were 1A All-State Honorable Mentions, while Anderson, Murphy and Richer were named 1A All-State. Murphy and Richer tied for the team lead with 63 goals apiece, while Midfielder Issy Wallace added 41 goals and Hunter added 40. Anderson led the team with 50 ground balls, followed by Wallace and Midfielder Mary Jane Furqueron, who each had 43. Hunter led the team with 59 draw controls, followed by Furqueron with 47 and Wallace with 45.
The team would like to thank the many parents and supporters who helped on its path to the state championship game, especially Devin Anderson, John Cleary, and Jason Sturman who so ably kept statistics all season long. Trainer Sarah Luken offered invaluable support, and the team is so appreciative of her amazing efforts. Finally, the coaches would like to thank the team’s eight seniors - Cecilia Andreae, Lizzie Fisher, Natalia Hanson, Lilly Harris, Ellie Hunter, Sela Larman, Hadley Murphy, and Katherine Quiesser. We are grateful for their leadership; they have left a wonderful legacy that will profoundly shape the years to come.
Boys Lacrosse
The boys lacrosse team overcame high personnel turnover and a rough start to the season to become a strong and efficient team and qualify for the state playoffs as the final seed. In the playoffs, the Panthers traveled to Bishop Dwenger in Fort Wayne and fell just short of the monumental upset, losing 7-5.
Junior attackman Ethan Cline was named the team’s Offensive MVP. Senior captain and starting goalie Yoav Ehrlich earned Defensive MVP honors. Junior SSDM Grant Ludwig won the Newcomer of the Year award. Cline, Ehrlich, and Ludwig, along with Luke Alberts, Cooper Grabow, Tucker Hawkins, Charlie Held, Daniel Peyton, and Turner Schaming were all named to the Indiana Lacrosse All-Academic Team. At the end-of-season banquet, the team bid a tearful but happy farewell to its six seniors: Sragvee Atluri (1 season), Austin Willis (1 season), Lucas Appel (2 seasons), Yoav Ehrlich (4 seasons), Cooper Grabow (4 seasons), and Tucker Hawkins (4 seasons).
Baseball
The baseball team had another strong season, posting an 18-5 overall record and finishing second in the PAAC Conference.
The Panthers started their season with their annual spring break trip to Nashville, Tennessee. The team performed well throughout the entire season and were anchored by a strong pitching staff, which was led by senior Carter Hall (1.20 ERA), sophomore Desmond Francis (2.03 ERA) and seniors
Cole Burkman (3.31 ERA) and Brady Redman (3.60 ERA). The team also posted some strong offensive numbers and hit .333 as a team while scoring 180 runs. Offensively they were led by sophomore Desmond Francis (.487 Avg), senior Nolan Whitehead (.420 Avg), junior MJ Gaines (.385 Avg), and seniors Brady Redman (.362 Avg), Cole Burkman (.359 Avg) and Carter Hall (.324 Avg).
The team will be graduating 9 seniors that will certainly be missed as they consistently led the team each day they took the field. The team would like to commend Cole Burkman, Ryan Sibbitt, Jackson Shanks, Nolan Whitehead, Brady Redman, Carter Hall, Adam Verma, Joe Klineman, and Spencer Hughes for the commitment, dedication, and resiliency that they provided the program and team throughout their time at Park Tudor.
MJ Gaines, Ryan Sibbitt, Jackson Shanks, Nolan Whitehead, Carter Hall, Adam Verma, Cole Burkman and Joe Klineman all earned PAAC Academic All-Conference. Four members of the team were named PAAC All-Conference: Desmond Francis, Brady Redman, Carter Hall and Nolan Whitehead. At the state level, seniors Ryan Sibbitt, Carter Hall, Cole Burkman and Nolan Whitehead all earned Academic All-State honors.
Team honors and awards:
• MVP: sophomore Desmond Francis
• Mental Attitude: senior Brady Redman
• Mr. Hustle: senior Nolan Whitehead
• Most Improved: sophomore Oliver Eve
• Reichel Award: senior Carter Hall
• Crown Award: senior Nolan Whitehead
The Panthers will look to build on their 2024 success as they enter the 2025 season next spring. The team will return five starters, but they certainly have some young and talented players that will need to step up and fill the vacancies left behind by the graduating seniors.
Boys Volleyball

Chris Stack ’91 Achieves His Broadway Dream
By Cathy Yingling Chapelle ’87
Chris Stack ’91 is currently starring in Stereophonic, the hit Broadway play that was nominated for 13 Tony awards (the most in history) and won for Best Play, as well as several other categories. The play tells the story of a rock band recording an album after achieving major success in the 70s, with all of the inherent drama of suddenly achieving stardom while navigating complicated personal relationships. Chris plays Simon, the drummer of the band.
I recently caught up with Chris to learn more about his career and how he has achieved his dream of acting in a Broadway show.
You’ve had a long acting career. How have you dealt with the ups and downs that inevitably come with that?
It can definitely be challenging to be an actor, since it’s a profession wherein hard work doesn’t guarantee success or even employment. You can experience incredible highs followed by long - or short - periods of drought. And you’re never sure how long the highs or lows will last. It was just announced that Stereophonic has been extended until January 5, so I know I will be fully employed for the next six months, but then I could be fully unemployed. You’re trying to look ahead toward what’s next, but also trying to stay engaged in the present. You can approach the unemployed time in a variety of ways - training and improving your craft; focusing on a day job; or using it to take some vacation.
I moved to New York to pursue acting 26 years ago, right out of school. I got an agent right away and had some immediate success with TV and film roles. But then my agent retired and things got harder and I wasn’t going out on as many auditions. That was the first speed bump I encountered, and I found
myself doing more guest star spots and I booked a soap opera. That gave me a steady gig, but even then some weeks I was working five days, some weeks none, but it was sort of “golden handcuffs” in a way because I wasn’t able to go out and do other things while I was on the soap.
I’ve purposely chosen to be in New York to work in the theater and now with Stereophonic, I’ve achieved something that has been a goal of mine forever - to be on Broadway. And my dream is being realized in a phenomenal way in a show that is being extended and celebrated with awards.
How did you know that you wanted to act in the theater?
I had an early experience seeing Cats on Broadway with my mom and my grandmother. At one point the actors came out into the audience in their cat costumes and one was laying on my mom’s lap and giving my grandmother a kiss, and it was just electric. I’m not sure if I knew at that point that I wanted to act, but I knew that something special was happening and I was in a special place. It certainly registered with me and I remembered it.
It also started at Park Tudor in the Fine Arts Department. My first year at Park Tudor was also (retired Theater Director) Jerry Grayson’s. I was in seventh grade, and I was the understudy in Peter Pan, and then in eighth grade I was in a production of Free to Be You and Me. With a very soft touch - not pushing me at all - Jerry encouraged me to try acting. In high school I was in the musicals, which was really just something fun to do with my friends. During senior year, my friend Jen Bohler (Johansen) convinced me to audition with her for The Crucible to play husband and wife and I thought, “I get to play Jen’s husband - hubba, hubba!” although the husband/wife relationship in The Crucible is very challenging and not romantic at all. That experience showed me that acting was something that I enjoyed on a different level from all of the other things I was doing. It was unique and really touched me in a unique way.
I’m still very close with Jerry and Jen; in fact, they were the first two people other than my family that I texted when I learned that Stereophonic was going to Broadway. While he’s no longer with us, I also think about (retired Director of Fine Arts) John Williams all the time. My connection with Park Tudor is still so strong; so many classmates and friends from the 80s and the 90s have come from all over to see me in the show and they’ve been so supportive and excited for me.
"Stereophonic" started out off-Broadway and then moved to Broadway. How has the show evolved for a new venue?
We went from a 200-seat theater to an 800-seat theater, so the audience is four times bigger. But a lot of things are the samethe stage is the same size, the cast is the same size. There was no guarantee that it would work, but we were fortunate that the producers - Sue Wagner and John Johnson - saw the play very early on and felt very confident that it would be successful on Broadway.
Aside from some technical considerations in moving to a larger theater, the show isn’t really different, but it is deeper. The challenge was not to change the show, but to deepen the experience - to turn up the volume, literally and figuratively. There are some added bells and whistles - our costumes are custom now, for example - but the show was so well done that it has been able to make the move to Broadway really gracefully. And the audience reaction makes the show complete; they’ve been so responsive and enthusiastic from the start.
You’re doing eight performances of "Stereophonic" a week. How do you keep it fresh?
It’s the actor’s job to keep it fresh, and that’s part of the technique - to be fully present in the moment. You can’t be thinking about the end of the play, or what happened five minutes ago.
It’s been great to be involved in a play like this that is so wellwritten and alive with such detail - there’s so much to get lost in during each performance. This play lends itself to a deeper experience each time. Everyone in the cast is always exploring and trying new things, so we can be doing it for the 140th time and we will still find something new and moments that haven’t happened before. It’s also important to be open to everything the audience has to offer.
You play a professional musician in the play. How were you able to master the musical aspect of the show?
I’ve been playing drums since middle school - I was in a band with some classmates in 8th, 9th and 10th grade. Interestingly, all of my former bandmates have stayed involved in music in some way, shape or form. I was never really disciplined to train and improve, but I always dabbled.
I’m passionate about music, and especially this particular era and flavor - 70s rock and roll. I grew up listening to Q95 on my way to school. To have a play set in the context of creating music of this era and style, and with all of the personal dynamics happening in the band was really perfect for me.
I started playing a lot more, and then the cast started playing as a band for four hours a day, six days a week. It turns out that when you practice something, you get better. I eventually started to feel like a drummer versus a person who plays the drums. Now we have a rehearsal room where we get together
and play music. My childhood drum kit that I got in 7th grade is in there, so I get to warm up each night before the show on my drums that I’ve been playing for 40 years.
We’ve also recorded a cast album; it was so cool to be in the recording studio and be part of that process, making 70s rock and roll that was written in the 2000s. It’s given me a next level of engagement with a form of expression that I love, and it’s something that everyone can respond to. There are multiple levels of enjoyment for the audience.
How did your time at Park Tudor help prepare you for your life and career?
My time at Park Tudor was critical in shaping who I am and how I learn. It also shaped how I define being supported and supportive. Certainly some of my greatest friends and influences are the people that I met at Park Tudor. I’m still very tied to Indianapolis and Park Tudor; in my office I have a picture above my desk of a group of us at football practice in 1989 or 1990.
My teachers at Park Tudor were so patient with me and so supportive in class and in life. I remember taking physiology with Kathy Sharpe; I thought I didn’t like science, but then a door opened and suddenly I did.
Park Tudor has been irreplaceable in my evolution. Now I have Park Tudor friends who I haven’t seen in 30 years coming to see me in Stereophonic and it’s been really incredible.
What advice do you have for current Park Tudor students who might want to pursue a career in acting?
If there’s anything else you think you want to do, do it. Unfortunately this is an industry where hard work is not necessarily rewarded with success. It’s unpredictable, rewarding and terrifying at the same time. You’ll probably need a day job because there’s typically not a lot of funding for the arts. At the heart of it, you have to have passion. Like all creative arts, acting is not something that you choose to do - you have to do it. Then, remember why you’re doing it and find as many projects as you can and stick with it.
Chris Stack ’91 will be appearing on Broadway in "Stereophonic" at the Golden Theatre in New York through January 5, 2025.
