🎭🎬 Class of ’26. One last bow.

Four years of rehearsals, callbacks, late nights, growth, chaos, laughter, breakthroughs, and becoming.

This edit is for the memories between the performances, the dressing rooms, the friendships, the warmups, the nerves, the moments that made us a company.

See you in the next act.

🎭✨ From dressing rooms to the stage… it all led to last night.

A little behind-the-scenes look at the BA Capstone process. The spaces where the work and the transformation really happen.

Yesterday it all came together. The lights, the performances, the stories… unforgettable.
