  1. What has been your favorite part of working with the theater, choir, or art department of Roanoke College?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Jasey Williams: <\/b>\u00a0I love the opportunity to express myself and to be given freedom\/autonomy over my own self-expression. if that makes sense<\/span><\/p>\n

    Bradley Sperl:<\/b> Being in the choir since my first semester of college gave me an initial group of friends that would later lead to closer relationships.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Claire McDonald:<\/b> \u00a0I can confidently say my favorite experience was touring France for the 75th anniversary of D-day. We got to sing in these beautiful old churches with great acoustics.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Tess Weidenkopf: <\/b>The best thing about the theatre department is the number of characters I have been able to play and the level of perspective I have gained.<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. What exactly got you interested in these programs?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Jasey: <\/b>I’ve just always done theatre since I was a little kid! It’s like biting my nails–I have no explanation other than it’s something I’ve always done<\/span><\/p>\n

      Bradley: <\/b>I have been a musical person since a young age, singing in church, being part of orchestras and choirs, and since singing was my favorite I decided to join on scholarship with the choir.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      Claire: <\/b>I did theater in high school so I took acting one freshman year. The professor, Lisa Warren, encouraged me to audition for the fall play \u201cOur Town\u201d. I\u2019ve been involved since.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Tess: <\/b>Theatre became a creative outlet for me to diffuse any anxiety or irritation in the other aspects of my life.<\/span><\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Is there something you know for sure you will miss?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Jasey:<\/b> I will miss seeing\/rehearsing with my friends every single night<\/span><\/p>\n

        Bradley:<\/b> Nothing with ever be as easy and built into my normal schedule as singing with the Roanoke College Choir or (Roanoke College A Capella Choir) RCACC<\/span><\/p>\n

        Claire: <\/b>What I\u2019ll miss most is the people.<\/span><\/p>\n

        Tess: <\/b>I am going to miss working with my hands to construct sets, and the rush of performing in front of a live audience as someone who is not my self<\/span><\/p>\n

          \n
        1. What advice can you give to your underclassmen?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Jasey: <\/b>I would say auditon! TRC is a small department, so it always needs more people!<\/span><\/p>\n

          Bradley: <\/b>Once you learn how to schedule your time you should start to fill up some, but not all, of your free time participating in a club, partaking in social activities, and just having some fun.<\/span><\/p>\n

          Claire: <\/b>If I could give a piece of advice, I would recommend that you commit yourself wholeheartedly to whatever it is you become involved in.<\/span><\/p>\n

          Tess: <\/b>The more experience you have, even if you think you won\u2019t like something, the better artist you will be. You also might surprise yourself<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
