"I was attracted to Naz because the program includes acting for screen, which was rare to find. The acting for stage and screen major has students with a lot of different acting styles, so working together is fun and we learn from each other. David Hadinger, our main acting professor, is very knowledgeable, kind, and patient. I would tell any student considering this program that it’s a great place for a passionate and hardworking student! It’s a welcoming, close community. The program is designed to provide a healthy space to work as an artist, which is really important to me."
