TADA!

The Department of Theatre and Dance is very proud of the work and the accomplishments of our students. We’ve asked a number of them to volunteer to do some blogging from time to time so that those of you interested in where our students come from, what kinds of lives they lead within the department, what they think of the education they’re receiving, can get an “inside view” of the department from the student’s perspective. Here’s your chance to meet them:

Colin Chauche

Hi my name is Colin. I’m a sophomore in the BFA Theatrical Production and Design program with a concentration in Lighting Design. I was born in Guatemala and lived in Latin America for 15 years before moving to Boston where I began doing theater. Aside from theater I like to play ultimate frisbe whenever I can. Also I’m more fun than Kate Stack.
