"The curriculum at DU teaches artists to work within all elements of the craft, whether it's design, stage management, shop, etc. What this education has then afforded me is my appreciation for everything that goes into making a show work. I now have a larger avenue through which I can enter the workplace and I can navigate and change what I'm doing to make something happen."

Anthony Adu, Theatre BA ('18) with Acting Distinction
