-><!-- DisplayFullObituaryText -->Peters, Susan J.Susan J. Peters, a well-known Professor and Musical Director of the Theater Department at Binghamton University, where she worked for 40 years, passed away peacefully on October 18, 2013 at her home in Vestal, NY. Professor Peters was born in Binghamton, NY, in 1939, and was a graduate of Wellesley College and Harpur College (now Binghamton University). She was a lifelong resident of Broome County, although she spent many summers in Europe traveling and writing. As Musical Director, Professor Peters adapted and directed scores of theater productions for the stages at Binghamton University and also for the Cider Mill Playhouse in Endicott, NY. In addition, Professor Peters collaborated on numerous original musicals, including the 1981 production Antics, the musical version of She Stoops to Conquer. Instructing hundreds of aspiring actors and actresses over the years, Professor Peters was especially proud of her Theater 101 Introduction to Musical Theater. She created and taught the course at Binghamton University, as well as a computer and synthesizer curriculum entitled Theater MIDI. Her Theater classes had as many as 1200 students enrolled at one time, and she continued to teach until illness forced her retirement last year. Professor Peters was also an exceptionally gifted concert pianist. Ms. Peters is survived by her mother, Evaline Multer; three sons, Eric, James and Jon Peters; two sisters, Mary Greene and Janet Christopher; three grandchildren, several nieces and nephews, and her long-time partner, Fred Mellert. While she wanted her memorial to be a private family affair, in her memory, Professor Peters would love to have her students, friends, and family sing a few show tunes now and then. Arrangements are with the Ernest H. Parsons Funeral Home 71 Main Street Binghamton NY. Please visit ParsonsFuneral.com to offer your condolences.
