Student Blog: ANIMAL FARM and the Rogue and Peasant Aces
by Student Blogger: Alyssa Meadows - April 03, 2023
I wanted to take the opportunity to tell you, readers, about the show I am performing in this semester. I play Moses, Mollie, Minimus, Pilkington, and others in Animal Farm, adapted by Ian Wooldridge, based on the book by George Orwell, and directed by Rebecca Conaway ’23!

Broadway Beyond Louisville Review: TOOTSIE at The Aronoff Center
by Taylor Clemons - March 14, 2023
What did our critic think of TOOTSIE at The Aronoff Center? As theatre innovates and reinvents, the days of the old-time musical comedies are all but behind us. But the broadway musical adaption of Tootsie (based on the 1982 film), is a welcome and refreshing musical comedy. The story is simple: an out of work actor needs a job, that actor gets hired in disguise as a woman, and deceit and hilarity ensues.
