Von Essen has also starred in “Law & Order: SVU,” “Boardwalk Empire,” “The Good Wife,” “Royal Pains,” “Gossip Girl,” “Sex and the City 2,” and the web series “Submissions Only.”
Thomas ’70 and Kathleen Donnell established the Thomas and Kathleen Donnell Broadway Concert Series Endowment Fund in conjunction with the University of Findlay’s Give Voice to Your Values campaign. Each year, Tony Award-winning artists and other masters of theater are welcomed to the stage.
