Congratulations to Bertie Mahoney '26! Bertie's extraordinary stage lighting skills have illuminated so many performances over the years and will be very missed! “L&C Theatre has helped me see myself in the art & theatre world and learn how to make great work.

Congratulations to Ellie Schwartz '26! Ellie reflects on her experience in the theatre department: “Voice and Movement, Playwriting, and the Oregon Shakespeare class were the most valuable classes I took during my time here. Voice and Movement stretched my abilities as a performer and taught me new ways of using my voice and body; Playwriting awoke a new love of playwriting that I felt emboldened to explore; and the OSF class was aligned perfectly with my interests and allowed me to spend a whole summer immersed in what I love best.” Ellie wrote a new play, "Phantasmagoria" for the thesis festival that opened to rave reviews. We all hope to see Ellie's work on stage in the future!

Congratulations to Samantha Knofler '26, pictured here in her Thesis festival production of "Commencement" on the day of Lewis & Clark College's commencement! A theatre performance major, Samantha also gained valuable design skills as a theatre major: “Theatre Design gave me the opportunity to engage with my visual art skills and a kind of creativity that, before, I’d discounted. Miranda supported me, helped me grow, and was always incredibly kind. I regularly use tools I learned in this class for my own design work, even when it’s not theatre-based.”

Congratulations to Marion Richardson-Beatty '26! Marion has been key for design tech in many productions over the past four years, coming to the theatre with a background in physics: “My work outside the theatre, mainly in the physics department, has also informed my design/production work. Physics provides a set of tools for looking at the world very different from theatre work, which often helped me think outside the box and get new perspectives on design work. On the production side, a little physics knowledge has been very helpful for understanding lighting and sound.”

Congratulations to Quinn Newberry '26! Quinn is an incredible artist and human, and has brought so much energy and talent to Fir Acres Theatre over these past four years. “Every single production that I've worked on at this college has taught me something monumental. Some of the things I've learned don't always pertain to theater, but I've learned nonetheless.”

Congrats to Josh Nguyen '26! Josh has knack for bringing people together his work as an artist and director. “I hope to be a professional artist in the future!

Congratulations to Naledi Tshehla '26!

Congratulations to Andrew Van Voorhees '26! Andrew's thoughtful perspectives and dedication will be missed. “I feel that the performance classes, especially when engaged with earnestly, offer a sound foundation for the development of sensitive theatre artists; I have witnessed impressive growth in others as I have in myself.”

Congratulations to Gianvito Cassanelli '26! Gianvito reflects on LC's theatre program: “It was also beyond important to find an environment that was interested in artists as people. For instance, it was very valuable for me to be appreciated for my movement capabilities, despite my lack of experience in “traditional” dance styles.” Gianvito, you have so much heart as an artist and person- always there with a smile and lifting others up as well. (Sometimes literally lifting them up!) Keep on moving and dancing and creating!

Congratulations to Delaney Jones '26! Delaney's work as the Sound Designer for the Spring MainStage production was especially impressive, showcasing her talent and dedication. Delaney reflects on her time in LC's theatre department: “Working with guest designers has been a huge part of my experience at Lewis and Clark that positively impacted the course of my education and assisted in getting opportunities outside of Lewis and Clark.”
