Greensboro College Student Wins Scholarship from N.C. Theatre Conference (4/21/2017)
GREENSBORO, N.C. – Candace Spencer, a rising junior theatre/acting major at Greensboro College, has received a $1,500 scholarship award from the North Carolina Theatre Conference.
Spencer, from Raleigh, was one of two winners of the William Rackley Theatre scholarship.
The N.C. Theatre Conference awards two scholarships in alternating years: the William Rackley Theatre Scholarship, and the Constance Welsh Memorial Scholarship, which supports undergraduate or graduate study in the field of Theatre for Youth or Theatre Education.
The conference is an association of K-12 schools, colleges and universities, theatre companies, and individuals who work to strengthen North Carolina’s vibrant theatre industry and engage tomorrow’s artists, audiences, and advocates.
Greensboro College’s Department of Theatre seeks to provide a strong foundation in theatre while allowing the student to emphasize in a particular area such as directing, acting, or arts administration.
The coursework is integrated with the production work to provide a better understanding of the many facets of the theatre. Required participation on stage or backstage on all theatre productions allows the techniques and theories that are examined in the classroom and the laboratory to be tested in a performance setting.
For more information on the program, contact David Schram, Jefferson Pilot Professor of Theatre, at 336-272-7102, ext. 5243, or email schramd@greensboro.edu.
Greensboro College provides a liberal arts education grounded in the traditions of the United Methodist Church and fosters the intellectual, social, and, spiritual development of all students while supporting their individual needs.
Founded in 1838 and located in downtown Greensboro, the college enrolls about 1,000 students from 29 states and territories, the District of Columbia, and seven foreign countries in its undergraduate liberal-arts program and four master’s degree programs. In addition to rigorous academics and a well-supported Honors program, the school features an 18-sport NCAA Division III athletic program and dozens of service and recreational opportunities.
