4. What is the most important thing you gained from this experience? Why?

• I gained knowledge on how actors can work together and bond through simple things like talks, warm-ups, and read throughs. From experience, I know how important it should be to be able to get along with your fellow actors and this mentorship showed me how to do that. This knowledge can even let me apply it to my own theatre group.

5. What is your senior project topic going to be? How did what you did help you choose a topic?

• My senior project topic is going to be Theatre Acting. Being around theatre since freshman year and being able to get this mentorship experience this summer, theatre acting is something I want to look into a lot more. This mentorship has shown me that there is a lot more to theatre than what I think I know, and I want to gain more knowledge about doing what I love.
