“While at Beloit, I found the highly professional caliber of the departmental theatre productions to be an incredible training ground for working in the theater industry, both in artistic craft and professional rigor. Additionally, Beloit’s focus on putting the liberal arts into practice gave me the tools to hustle, maneuver, and creatively adapt in a competitive, ever-changing industry.” — Simone Stadler’13
