Email to Theatre Guy at George Fox.
Hello,
My name is Kacy Helwig and I am a freshman currently at Linfield College. I don't know if you remember but you judged my Lighting Design at the Oregon State Thespian Conference two years ago when I designed for Children of Eden by Stephen Schwartz. I graduated last year from St.Helens High School and decided to go to Linfield for a major in Theatre, and while I have enjoyed the department at this school I have found it very difficult to want to stay here for the remainder of the year. While my work study job of being a lighting assistant has been both fun and an eye opening experience, the social community of Linfield and requirements of the degree have left me unfulfilled.
I am looking at transferring to a different college in the winter that would be able to provide me with more of a design or technology base and somewhere where I would not need to participate in acting. I would someday like to be a lighting designer perhaps for something as great as Disney but do not have a passion or much interest in acting, which would be required for the degree offered at Linfield. I was wondering what advice you could give me about colleges that would be able to provide me with both hands on experience in working on lights and on designing shows. I have strongly been considering going to George Fox as I think that this program could offer many things and that I could learn a lot from you.
I was wondering what kind of classes you offer for theatre design majors and what opportunities you could be able to offer as well as any suggestions that you have for me or other information about George Fox and its' theatre program. I would love to hear your thoughts and what type of program you offer or even to meet with you to discuss the opportunities you have to offer and the requirements for a major.
I would great appreciate to hear back from you! Thank you for your time.
