senior theatre project, “He, She, and

sionally with the Southern Appalachian
Repertory Theatre in “Fiddler on the
Roof,” “Camelot,” “Mandy Lou,”
and in summer stock with the Jekyll
Island summer music theatre in Georgia.
Has being the first person through the
program changed her in any way? “Oh
my yes. I’m a totally different person
than when I walked in here. I am confi
dent now. I think I walked in here ex
pecting to fail, and the faculty here
simply would not let me. They really are
my friends. They have spent the time en
couraging me, working with me, helping
me, until I feel that I am able to take on
anything.”
She credits C. Robert Jones, director
of the college’s musical theatre perfor
mance program, gifted playwright, com
poser, and teacher, with having a great
influence on her college career.
