Student Spotlights

“Music theatre has always been my passion, and thanks to the professors and students here, I have only grown to love it more.”

Carthage is a great place to come for the arts. The programs are spectacular, and the faculty are wonderful. Most importantly, though, the community has your back. They want you to succeed. It’s truly a wonderful environment.

I’ve had an opportunity to perform every semester I’ve been at Carthage — be it singing in choir, acting in a scene directed by a classmate, or performing in a full-blown musical. Each performance opportunity adds a new layer to who I am as an artist and gives me a new challenge to conquer.

“Carthage has offered me the opportunity to perform every single semester since I arrived here. I have participated in music theater workshops, main stage musicals and plays, dance shows, staged readings, and directed scenes.”

“My biggest piece of advice is to try everything! The minute you dive in head first, you will have more opportunities than you know what to do with.”

“Carthage offers lots of opportunities for students who major in musical theater. We learn a lot from all those wonderful professors and our fellows. We not only learn knowledge, but we also learn how to be a professional actor and how to be a good person.”
