Edouard Ferrell is taking a hands-on approach to his theatre major. With a concentration in design and technology, Edouard creates costumes, wigs, does makeup, and a variety of other creative tasks.
鈥淚n just my year and a half of being in the department, I鈥檝e worked on about 10 productions, whether it鈥檚 opera, dance, or the main stage theatre shows as well as capstones,鈥 he said.
鈥淚t鈥檚 a really varied experience in different roles; it kind of gives me ideas of what I鈥檇 be interested in working on in the future.鈥
Being a theatre major allows Edouard to hone in on his particular skills and passions.
鈥淚 love being a theatre major because I鈥檓 constantly faced with creative problem solving and hands on learning. Focusing on design and tech allows me to fulfill my passion of combining aesthetic sensibilities with very technical skills.鈥

鈥淚鈥檝e already had so much experience running shows and making costumes for shows. At bigger universities where there鈥檚 a lot more competition for those roles, I find that I get to try more things in a shorter amount of time.鈥
