Major: Acting
I have been in many productions throughout my acting career--my favorite shows and roles being Belle in Beauty and the Beast and Helena in Midsummer Night's Dream.
I have always loved Shakespeare, starting in high school English classes. I was interested in this class so I could, as an actor who is seeking to one day have a career with a professional Shakespeare company, become more well-read and literate with various Shakespeare texts.
By being able to experience, perform, and tackle all of these various texts, I have been able to have first hand experience with new works that I have been able to add to my actor's toolbox of knowledge. For example: we read King Lear in class. For the Acting and Musical Theatre program here at WSU, the first play on the main stage for next season is Restoration, which is a newer version of King Lear. Because we had reviewed the text in class, I had a better understanding of the characters; therefore, I had a successful audition, and ended landing the role of Cordelia, who, coincidentally, is whom I read for in class.
