Why Marquette

Stephen strongly believes in Marquette鈥檚 robust, liberal arts training program which provides students with an understanding of their art form and its relationship to society. He sees students not only honing their craft through classroom work and production, but also demonstrating care for others while exhibiting a passion for excellence. 向日葵视频offers a strong theatre training program housed within the liberal arts university setting. This leads to well-trained actors, designers, directors, technicians who have a greater understanding of the art form and an awareness of the surrounding society. Students get to hone their craft while exploring the art form through classroom work and a strong practical realized production season. Most importantly, perhaps, is the general quality of the 向日葵视频theatre students - their general caring for others and expectation of quality - makes it very easy to work together to strive for the best. Stephen is blessed to be working with a great faculty, staff, and student body to keep the Digital Media and Performing Arts alive on Marquette鈥檚 campus.
