Student Stories
“After graduation, I toured with Disney On Ice Presents Frozen as a lighting electrician and was promoted to production stage manager within two years. Then, I transitioned to Cirque Du Soleil Volta, where I worked as the assistant head of lighting and video. I could not be more grateful for the Theater Arts Department.”
