Alumni Spotlight
"The University of Findlay provided an overall education that allowed me to pursue my passions. One of the truths of theatre is that you have to be well-rounded in order to be a better actor and fully understand the show that you're working on. Coming to Findlay allowed me to double-major in theatre and political science, and become both a better person and a better professional."
