At K-State Theatre, we value and encourage students to secure professional work in Theatre or in Arts Education over the summer to further prepare themselves for a life and career in the Arts. Please see what our tremendously talented students are up to this summer. If you know of any other K-State Theatre students who are working in the Arts or Education this summer, please reach out to me and I will add them to the list.
