Portland Pickles meet‑up success!

Loved catching up with alumni representing dance, music, costume design, and filmmaking — some still performing and others forging new paths while staying rooted in the arts. Plus, a brewery and an escape room for good measure!

Nothing better than being in Portland and helping alumni connect and grow their creative community.

What a joy to tour Cygnet Theatre’s stunning new home in Liberty Station, San Diego.

Founded by UNCSA Drama alumnus Sean Murray '89 and his husband, Bill Schmidt, the space is a true creative haven.

So fun meeting the fabulous UNCSA alums bringing the theatre's current production, The SpongeBob Musical, to life: Bailey Lee ’19 as SpongeBob, Andrew Oswald ’91 as Squidward, and Coleman Clark as Sound Mixer and Foley artist.

Catch performances June 10–July 12 — more details at cygnettheatre.org.

Still buzzing from an unforgettable evening at the alumni owned film studio in Burbank where we hosted the Pickles & Pints event last Thursday!

Huge thanks to and for allowing us into the incredible world of Fun Ton. All conservatories were represented, alumni from various decades, and the positivity and creativity in the room was palpable.

Cheers to familiar faces, new connections, and an artistic community like no other.

🎉 We’re celebrating our alumni donors! 🎉

Thanks to an incredibly generous donor who cares deeply about alumni engagement, we’re able to add something extra special to this year’s Days of Giving.

Each day, we’re randomly selecting one alum from each conservatory—and each of those five alumni will receive an additional $1,000 to designate to the fund of their choice. It’s a fun way to boost alumni participation and shine a spotlight on the power of our community.

Today, we’re celebrating these five alumni from Day 1 who chose to support UNCSA with a gift. Your participation—at any level—helps unlock even more support for students, faculty, and programs across campus.

Thank you for showing up, giving back, and keeping our creative community strong.
