I’ve acted in three MainStage shows, three or four MacPlayers student-run, student-directed shows, and I’m in the Fresh Concepts improv group. I love theater because it is the only art in which people represent people. There is always an element of surprise because theater happens in the moment.”

Theater
The talent of the student theater artists is stellar—onstage and backstage. They have technique, ambition, zeal and ability.
—Jack Reuler ’75, Guest Director
“This is my first Mac production, and even though I’m a first-year, I’ve always felt really welcome. I love rehearsing, taking it to the stage with all the emotions and relationships. By tech week, it’s crazy, and you’re saying, ‘If I can just make it to Thursday …’”

“I love that theater is a collaborative art form. Stage managing is fascinating because you are involved from day one to the end, and you’re an integral part of what happens both onstage and off. After this production, I’ll be working on my honors thesis, a 65- to 100-page performance theory paper.”

Theater
 “On crew, I get to do wiring and climbing around in the clouds. Anyone can get involved in anything; there are no closed circles or hierarchies. I’m possibly a music major, but I signed up for a first-year acting course, Acting Theory and Performance with Harry Waters. All the professors here are so down-to-earth—you’re on an equal basis with them.”
