World-class artists. Extraordinary opportunities. Right here at Mercyhurst. 🎭✨

Last Wednesday, our senior Theatre minors had the opportunity to see Tony and GRAMMY Award winner Renée Elise Goldsberry live in concert—and meet her after the show.

Experiences like these give our students the chance to learn from, connect with, and be inspired by artists working at the highest level.
