Graduate Profile

Brianna Johnson
Graduation: 2008
Major: Theatre and Dance

Brianna Johnson graduated a semester early and still designed the lighting for three shows and six one-act plays.

“In most programs you are lucky if you get a one-act play and a full show to design before you graduate,” the 2008 graduate says. “Alma’s Theatre Program helped me figure out what I wanted to do for a living, and I got tons of experience.”
