Actress and singer Kristin Chenoweth, Chesapeake Energy’s Martha Burger, Oklahoma State University President Burns Hargis, and journalist Ed Kelley will be awarded honorary doctorates from OCU during spring commencement ceremonies. The ceremonies are scheduled May 11 in the Henry J. Freede Wellness and Activity Center, NW 27 and Florida.
Chenoweth, Burger and Kelley will receive honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degrees. Hargis will receive an honorary Doctor of Laws degree.
Chenoweth, who holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees in music from OCU, won a Tony Award for her role in the 1999 Broadway revival of “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown.” In 2009, the Broken Arrow native earned an Emmy Award for her role on the ABC comedy “Pushing Daisies.”

Kristin Chenoweth is set to co-star opposite fellow Broadway boldface Matthew Broderick in CBS‘ untitled Tad Quill multi-camera comedy pilot directed by James Burrows. The project, from CBS TV Studios, centers on Jack (Broderick), a recently widowed father who raises his 12-year old son while jumping back into the dating pool. Chenoweth, repped by CAA, Untitled and attorney James Adams, will play Marnie, Jack’s cute but judgmental sister who works as a waitress at a nice but not-too-upscale restaurant. It is not clear if the two siblings share any musical talent. This marks Chenoweth’s return to CBS where she was booked for a major arc on The Good Wife last season, which was cut short by an on-set accident that injured the Tony-winner.
