Student Blogger: Grace Schofield

Hi! My name is Grace Schofield and I am a current BFA Musical Theatre Student at the Dobbins Conservatory at Southeast Missouri State University. I also work at our school’s library and as an usher. I am a second year here at SEMO and I have been involved in multiple productions as a performer, director, and assistant stage manager. I started performing when I was 6 years old and just simply never stopped. I’ve tried to immerse myself in as many aspects of theater as possible. In high school, I also worked at my local theater program as a teacher’s assistant and a performer. I would help teach classes, run rehearsals, and perform in the shows we put on. Most recently, I premiered a short play I wrote in Player's Theatre's Short Play Festival NYC. For fun, I often made vlogs to document my experience in being a part of different shows throughout the semester to be posted on youtube and I loved it. It was fun getting to edit the videos and now, it is really nice to have a sort of time capsule to look back on. I also really enjoy reading, writing short plays and poetry, being around my friends, and I also love gnomes. I am also a christian and my faith is really important to me and it has been really cool to get to share that with others here at my school. I hope to continue to grow and learn more and I can’t wait to see what the future holds!
