Hi! My name is Robin Shepley. I am currently a junior Theatre Education major with a Directing for the Stage minor at Ball State University in Muncie, IN. My love for theatre began at the Notre Dame Shakespeare Festival when I participated in their Shakescenes showcase at just three years old! Ever since then, I have participated in community theatre at South Bend Civic Theatre and school plays in both middle and high school. High school is where I found a love for working backstage, not just onstage. Now, in college, I get to view theatre through the lens of an educator, and I am loving every bit of it! When I'm not doing theatre, I love to read, crochet, and hang out with my cat, Amelia (Meals).

Beauty and the Beast! I love the grandeur of it, and I love the original songs that were added in! It has always been my favorite Disney movie as well. In third grade, I was in the junior version of the musical, and I played a cupcake during Be Our Guest!MOST POPULAR ARTICLES
