Amazing Summer for Dance and Theatre Students
Jun 20, 2018
Although the academic year has come to a close, many students from the Department of Theatre and Dance are not taking a well-deserved break over the summer months. Instead, due to their love of their chosen discipline, they are choosing to study and work in numerous artistic capacities throughout the country.
Through college and faculty supported auditions and job interviews throughout the past year, coupled with self-motivation and talent, thirty-two students are engaging in real-world experience this summer, and the faculty could not be more proud. Below, please find out about these amazing summer opportunities and check to see if they might be working “in your neck of the woods!”
