Cheyenne Lewis graduated from Arizona State University with her Bachelor of Arts in theatre in 2023. She is currently pursuing her Master of Arts in strategic communication at ASU. During her undergrad, she focused on dramaturgy. She assisted with dramaturgy on Anthropocene and was a part of the wardrobe crew for Safe at Home. Her love of theatre started with a community theatre production of Twelfth Night, or What You Will, in 2017, where she played the sea captain. Her experience there sparked her love of Shakespeare and classic plays. She has also played The Ghost in Hamlet and Don Pedro in Much Ado About Nothing, and many other local community productions. 

She is also a graduate of ASU’s Barrett the Honors College. In the summer of 2023, she studied abroad in the United Kingdom. Her undergraduate thesis, “West End Theatre: A Review of the 2023 Season,” is a collection of reviews for 15 European plays.
