“hey, you guys see that floor. I helped paint it!”

An intregal part of life in the theatre dept. is our workstudy crew.  This is a group of 4 – 8 individuals each year from varying majors on campus who have signed up to work in the thearte dept.

This year we have a great group of students that and we thought an outsiders prospective (non-theatre majors) might have some keen observations to share about our department.

I started at Belhaven College last year, fall of 2008. Being an English major I never had much interaction with the theatre department on campus. It was a foreign land to me. I had no idea what went on inside, or what happened to the people who gave up their lives to it. The little interaction I did have came through attending the productions and a few friends who were theatre majors. From this small taste, I was impressed with the department and wanted to somehow get involved. Therefore, at the beginning of this semester, when I got the opportunity to serve as a workstudy student, I snatched it up.

From the beginning, I was impressed with what I saw.

I enjoyed being on the inside doing the background work for the productions. And when my friends came to watch them, it gave me a very satisfactory feeling to be able to say “hey, you guys see that floor. I helped paint it.” I would say my favorite part of working here has been experiencing the community between the professors and students in the department, and, of course, being able to be a small part of that.
