Edward Wierzbicki

Edward Wierzbicki (CFA’79, COM’90) of Wethersfield, Conn., an Emmy-winning producer and artistic director at New Zenith Productions, has spent the past six years crafting mental health–conscious film and television programming. The COVID-19 pandemic, and the mental health concerns it evoked, inspired New Zenith’s On Stage/In Session: Shakespeare’s Works on Mental Health, an hour-long televised performance special starring “a company of talented young actors who dive into Shakespeare, sharing their views on how his language and characters can offer us valuable perspectives on today’s mental health challenges.” The program aired on Connecticut Public Television in October 2022.
