CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT T
he 2017-2018 Theatre season included performances of The Christians by Lucas Hnath, The Voice of the Prairie by John Olive, Moon Over the Brewery by Bruce Graham, and Hedda Gabler by Henrik Ibsen. Each production was intentionally chosen to challenge and stretch both the audience and actors. “The most rewarding aspect of training students is seeing them grow as professionals and individuals. In addition to the practical skills they learn, producing a play teaches them about the human condition and empathy,” ETBU Artistic Director Traci Ledford said. “Their worldview is opened and they are enabled to see effort, struggle, pain, loss – whether in the characters they bring to life or the lives of their collaborators. That is Christ at work, and it is a beautiful process to be a part of.”
