My dream is to become a professional film actor.

I developed a passion for acting late in my high school career but didn’t actually touch the stage

until college when I landed my first lead role in a play as a first-year

at Centenary. Not many college students can say

they had that kind of opportunity

so soon.

TheatreCentenary Theatre at the Marjorie Lyons Playhouse has a proud history, enriching the cultural environment of the College and the surrounding community. Our alumni have gone on to graduate programs at Yale, Juilliard, Emerson College, and Sarah Lawrence (to name a few) and have paved their way to success in the New York City and Los Angeles markets.

I had heard about Centenary’s choir but I had to see it to believe it. My first performance with the Choir was so formative. People in the audience came

up to me afterwards with tears in their eyes expressing their love

for a particular song or sharing their experience

and gratitude. I am incessantly grateful for

being a part of the choir.

Our graduates’ résumés are full of quality experiences that prepare them for professional music careers or graduate school.

When I put my first website online during

my Web Design course I got to see the concrete evidence of my education in front of me and it was so

rewarding. There is an environment of creative

growth at Centenary that is fostered by

encouraging faculty and peers. They’re giving me the tools to grow as an artist and professional to achieve my goals.
