Spotlight Sunday: Meet Carolyn Quinn!

What are your major/minor(s) and your year?
Senior Stage Management Major/ Recreation, Park and Tourism Management Minor

How are you involved in PAC, and how long have you been involved?
Last January, I heard about PAC at a party from a friend of John and Brian's. I got in touch with John, who I had never met before, and expressed my interest in getting involved. Fast forward a few months and I'm the Vice President, a position which I still hold today. I've had an absolutely fantastic experience learning about and working with student performing arts organizations outside of the School of Theatre.

What other performing arts groups are you involved in on campus?
I am a Stage Management Major in the School of Theatre and serve as a Student Rep in the School of Theatre Affiliate Program Group, our Alumni Board.

What is your favorite thing about PAC?
I love watching organizations really talk to each other and realize that they can work together. The a cappella genre's common audition was a direct result of this and made the audition process far more smooth and less stressful for all involved.

If you had to describe your performing arts experience at Penn State in one word, what would it be?
Wild.

What is your signature karaoke song?
Lose Yourself by Eminem. Next question.

What is your favorite Penn State arts experience?
Producing 'WE ARE...On Broadway' this January was one of the coolest things I've ever done. Bringing back Penn State School of Theatre alumni to perform and work with current students at the State Theatre was a dream come true. It also helped me to realize that I truly have a passion for producing.
