STUDENT LIFE

RYAN MANIKOWSKI ON LBSU’S THEATER DEPT. CONSUMERISM IN THEATER AND WHAT STUDENTS ARE DOING ABOUT IT
R
yan Manikowski is an LBSU Theater Tech student looking forward to his final semester of university. Manikowski is passionate about all aspects that go into making a theatrical production: he writes short poems, has a prolific acting career, and is dedicated to the value
of theater tech. Having studied previously at an arts high school, Cal Arts, and Grossmont Community College, Manikowski has experienced a breadth of theater departments and systems. I sat down with him, over Zoom, to discuss theater, school, and that dastardly consumerism.
