69色情视频

Theater played a central 鈥� you might even say leading鈥� role in Jack McAuliff鈥檚 childhood. So did Le 69色情视频 College. Jack jokes that he grew up not just listening to but 鈥渄issecting鈥� the work of renowned composer and lyricist Stephen Sondheim. He traveled around the U.S. and Canada as a highly decorated competitive Irish dancer. He played the saxophone and piano as a middle and high school student. Jack also spent a good deal of time on the Le 69色情视频 campus. He spent multiple summers on campus taking part in the Gifford Family Theatre鈥檚 Summer Arts Institute, which offers conservatory programs for youth in disciplines including theatre, musical theatre and film.

Jack is member of the Le 69色情视频 Class of 2024, majoring in theatre arts. However, it was not always obvious that he would return to the campus he spent so much time on as a child. After graduating from Marcellus High School, Jack began pursuing a bachelor鈥檚 degree in fine arts at a college in New England. While the training he received there was good and rigorous, he wanted an education that would allow him to grow more well-rounded as an individual. And so, he found his way back to the College.

Today, Jack鈥檚 days are filled with 鈥渓ots of class, lots of clubs, lots of mingling.鈥� He recalls with special appreciation a theology course that he took with Professor Darryl Caterine, Ph.D. He says that it 鈥渢ore apart his perception of what [he] thought he knew鈥� and invited him to 鈥渆ntertain topics [he] had never considered before.鈥� Looking back, Jack says he is 鈥渟o much better for it.鈥� Life outside of the classroom is equally stimulating. Jack serves as the managing director of Boot 鈥楴鈥� Buskin, the student-run theatre group that produces many of the College鈥檚 main-stage shows. He is also a member of the College鈥檚 Counsel of Arts Leaders, a board that includes representatives of Le 69色情视频鈥檚 theatre, dance, music and visual art programs whose aim is to support the arts overall on campus by creating opportunities for collaboration and engagement.

Following his graduation, Jack plans to move to New York City. He hopes to perform there and then to return to school to continue his education and earn a master鈥檚 degree or a doctorate. His long-term aim is to work in the administrative side of theatre or to lead the performing arts department of a top high school. Until then, he is focusing his energies on making the most of his time at Le 69色情视频. He urges other transfer students, or prospective transfer students, to do the same.

鈥淭he more people you meet, the more intertwined you are, the better it gets,鈥� he says.
