** STUDENT SPOTLIGHT ** 

Anne Marie Jones ('13) has her debut at Seattle Shakespeare Company in Antony and Cleopatra directed by John Langs.  Performances run through November 18.  http://www.seattleshakespeare.org/2012-2013-season/antony-and-cleopatra/ for more information.

Alumni Daniel Rector ('12) is the 2012-2013 literary intern at A Contemporary Theatre.

Through my Literary Internship at A Contemporary Theatre this year, I have gained invaluable knowledge about the reality of theatre as livelihood. It's been so invigorating for me to interact directly with both new and respected playwrights as ACT furthers their creative work. Through the ever-inclusive and nurturing atmosphere at ACT, I have been able to both learn from and have an impact on the intense process of how work for the theatre is crafted and produced at a regional level, which has emboldened and enriched my understanding of how theatre functions for me as a growing artist. --Elspeth Walker ‘10
