Student Profile

Tara Riedel

Tara Riedel
Graduation: 2013
Major: Theatre

When Tara Riedel came to Alma College, she knew she would meet plenty of new people. But through her involvement in theatre, she has gotten to know someone she didn’t necessarily expect to: herself.

“I’ve learned so much about myself as a person in the last three years,” she says. “The Meisner technique has us focus on our acting partner instead of ourselves. As backward as it seems, I’ve learned that when you stop focusing on yourself, you really learn about yourself.”
