Internship brings Shakespeare to life for Roanoke student
April 11, 2017
After interning as a dramaturge, backstage manager and line caller, Madison Little '18 knows one thing - She was made for the theater.
Little, a creative writing and literary studies major at Roanoke, landed a summer internship and a spring semester gig with American Shakespeare Center's Blackfriars Playhouse in Staunton, Virginia. Until her internship, she never thought about using her love of writing and storytelling on stage.
"I really like watching it [Shakespeare] come to life," said Little, a member of the College's improv club and who plans to study Shakespeare and performance after Roanoke. "I like seeing how the story threads come together."
