For the BU students involved, the
workshop was a way to give back to the community, share their passion for
theater, and have a good time in the process. Says Dana Vernetti, "We had a ton of fun and were shocked at how enthusiastic and
willing to participate the kids were. Improv is so dependent upon
imagination and these students were completely uninhibited which was so great
to see - I think we actually had a lot to learn from them!"
Johnson City Middle School teacher
Mallory Gray was equally as grateful for the opportunity: "Having my
students see that theatre can be a part of their lives for a very long time was
great. These women were great role models for how someone can balance an
academic career as well as a theatrical one. Thanks again!"
The workshop was organized by Pat
Madej, the CCE’s Youth Engagement Coordinator and Americorps VISTA.
