Student Blog: The Importance of Publicity Directors
by Student Blogger: Katie Koslow - Apr 30, 2026

A few weeks ago I watched a series of reels made by Ken Davenport where he encourages high school theater organizations to incorporate more theatrical business positions into their organizations. I was instantly drawn to his words. I have performed in productions since I was around five years old. Performing will always be my first love, but my time in college has also given me such a passion for content creation. I have been given the incredible opportunity to be in charge of capturing people I love doing what they love, and I would not trade it for the world.
