Theatre Major

Being a BA theatre major has been such a great experience. Regent really helps performers define who they are as actors and define who they are as Christians in the performing world. What I've learned most being here so far has been how to set up boundaries as a Christian performer and stand by them.

Continuing Education

Coming back to school after a two year break was very scary at first because I felt so far behind from all the people I graduated with, but God showed me that my timing here was perfect. And he has let me meet such wonderful people who have been where I'm at and they encouraged me. And once you're in the classes, you see that there are people of all ages and degrees and that age doesn't matter so much.

Christian Education

I use to say that I would never go to a Christian University because I thought they would be so strict and uptight. Also I didn't think a Christian University would be able to teach me theatre the way I needed it to be taught. Regent completely changed my perspective. They have a wonderful program and they really encourage us in our walk with God and show us how to co-exist in the world as a Christian.

As You Like It

AYLI has been so great. I've learned so much being sound operator and I’ve met some amazing and talented people.

Highlights of teching would be:

-the fun we have on headset

-the fun we have in the green room

-Tech night where all the guys, except 2, tore there shirts off for the curtain call dance extravaganza.. awkward and yet hilarious

-Ryan and the ness that is him

-Andy and the ness that is him

-Verbal abuse over the headset by Jeff

-Screaming teenagers at the sight of "Orlando"

-All the small movie references that have been put in… that only a few people get

-Jesiah always coming in and attempting to scare.. it hasn't worked, hence the attempt

Things that arn't so happy but still all apart of the experience:

-coming in the sound booth and everything have been changed and cleaned up and put away and completely screwed up because of the film festival... it took me an hour to find all the things missing and get everything back in its proper place.

-TV studio coming onto our headset channel in the middle of a show

-mike tape disappearing 15 min before the house opens

-CTV student coming through the booth just for a short cut in the middle of a performance (show some respect will ya? you wouldn't want a person to walk through the middle of a film shoot would u? I think not!)

All in all this has been an amazing experience, and I love it so much and I’ll sorta miss it when its gone.. but I’m also ready to be able to sleep again. But I sure do love the life of a theatre kid.
