Spotlight Sunday: Meet Rachel Reid!

What are your major/minor(s) and your year?
Senior, Advertising major & Theatre minor 
 
How are you involved in PAC, and how long have you been involved?
I am PAC’s Communications Director. For my career, I want to work in the marketing/communications department of a music or performing arts venue, so getting involved with PAC is a great way to get experience and have fun!
 
What other performing arts groups are you involved in on campus?
I’m in Tapestry Dance Company, where I’m a dancer, choreographer and fundraising chair. 
 
What is your favorite thing about PAC?
It’s nice to see the organizations collaborate and it’s interesting to learn more about the cool clubs I didn’t even know existed on campus. 
 
If you had to describe your performing arts experience at Penn State in one word, what would it be?
Incredible. 
 
What is your signature karaoke song?
There's so many! I'll sing pretty much anything. I guess the top songs are Don't Stop Believin', Party in the USA, Mr. Brightside, and anything by Taylor Swift or Adele...  
 
What is your favorite arts experience?
I think my favorite arts experience is performing on stage with Tapestry at THON. Every year, we perform a jazz dance to a medley of songs based on a theme such as musicals, boy bands, 80’s, etc. The adrenaline rush that comes with performing in front of thousands of people in the Bryce Jordan Center is amazing. Being at THON for hours and hours is also a really great way to watch other arts organizations perform. ​
