Highly Engaged Faculty
“From the moment I stepped into the theatre department, I felt immediately accepted by Professor Smith. He’s taught me about “actioning a line” and proper diction” - and everything he teaches in class he applies to his directing. Prof. Smith constantly challenges me to be a better theatre student, actress, and Brevard leader. It’s been an incredible opportunity to work with and learn from someone who is so talented and experienced in the field.” -current Brevard student
