Trine University’s Theatre Department hosted 25 area middle and high school students
for a workshop on April 3 in the T. Furth Center for Performing Arts.
The workshop lasted 90 minutes and included five stations, including blocking, character development and directing.
Following the workshop, the students watched a rehearsal for Trine Theatre’s upcoming production of “The Matchmaker.”
“The parents that attended with their kids were totally impressed and asked us to do it for every show,” said LouAnn Homan, Trine Theatre director. “Out of all of those kids, only one had ever been in the Furth. Their eyes actually had stars in them!”
Students in Trine University’s Capstone in Sport Management class won their second National Collegiate Sports Sales Championship (NCSSC) showcase event of the fall, then went on to place in the national Super Showcase.
