We may not have theatre classes during the summer, but many of our students are actively practicing their artistry. Hannah Konkolics, a theatre major at Commonwealth University-Bloomsburg, is working in multiple capacities, including Dance Captain, on Bloomsburg Theatre Ensemble's production of Elephant & Piggie. Read an interview with Hannah in BTE's latest newsletter.

A: As dance captain, Aaron White, the director, has tasked me with knowing and reinforcing the choreography with the kids. By memorizing and retaining Aaron's choreography, I am able to lead the kids in the dancing along with making corrections.
