Like the proverbial curtain, the reputation of the College’s theatre program is rising. PC students are annually winning awards and being recognized at the regional and national levels of the prestigious Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival competitions. Nearly three-dozen students are studying theatre as majors or minors, and dozens more are involved in acting and myriad behind-the-scenes roles in mainstage productions. In this episode, James “Jimmy” Calitri, associate professor of theatre and director of theatre, dance, and film, and one of his students, actor Dan Jameson ’21, discuss recent success in the ACTF, the unique opportunities theatre provides for students, and the passionate, close-knit culture of the program.
The Providence College Podcast features interviews with interesting members of the Friar Family. These in-depth conversations with PC students, Dominicans, faculty, staff, and alumni provide a rich look into the lives of noteworthy Friars. Occasionally we will also bring you on-campus lectures and presentations. Go Friars!
