Celebrating our Heritage
One of the things we have been working on this summer is the updating our Archive that spans the hallway outside the theatre.
Installing the Archive wall Hangings
Not only have we been able to cover all of last seasons show (which I will include in this post) but we have been able to celebrate some of the past shows moving backward in our archive.
Wall of History
Celebrating our heritage as a dept., giving recognition to those who have paved the way for the current students. Â Thus in an effort to also reach some of you alumni electronically who may not be able to visit the ‘WALL’ I have digitized some representations of what is on the wall.
Juliet and Her Romeo, Fall 2010
Our hope is you will come back to visit us some day and also take pride in the fact that pictures from the productions you were in are being celebrated by all who come and see our shows as they pass by this wall of history before entering the theatre.
Bald Soprano, Spring 2011
Stay tuned and over the next days and weeks I will post these pictures, and I hope you will take the opportunity to share a favorite moment or story about each particular production by leaving a comment here below. 🙂
Three Sisters, Spring 2011
These pictures will come up in no particular order (sorry), if after a couple of weeks you realize your favorite show has not been represented please comment to that as well. Â Our archive is far from complete and we would love to have any and all pictures, programs, or other pieces that we could scan and add to our archive.
Archive Wall (so far)

Erin Brownfield – guest artist and almunus
Guest Artist and Alumnus, Erin Brownfield, speaking in Departmental Meeting on October 22, 2010
We were pleased and blessed to have alumnus Erin Brownfield (’10) return to Belhaven to share her experiences auditioning and working for the Disney corporation as an amusement park character performer. Â She had this to share here on our blog:
This past weekend I had the pleasure of visiting Belhaven after graduating from there this past May. What brought me back was to catch up with people and to see the department’s production of “Juliet + Her Romeo”. The play was brilliant in all aspects and simply was amazing. Beautiful job all the way around.
Since graduating from Belhaven, I have been working for the Disney Company at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. I am one of the Character Performers there. While pursuing this job, I was also able to use a few things I had learned from my years at Belhaven. For instance, I was able to present the company with a professional resume and headshot while some of the other people auditioning were not. I also was able to go into the audition with full confidence and focus. In other words, Belhaven helped give me a firm theatre foundation which I could stand upon.
Anyway, I hope the year continues to go well for all of you. Break a leg in all your future endeavors!
