What's Happening at Ashland University

Ric Goodwin, professor of theatre at Ashland University, is spending his faculty study leave performing in two productions for the Actors’ Summit Theater, Akron’s professional theatre company.

A senior at Ashland University, Heidi Roland experienced a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to student teach this past semester in Celebration, Fla., through the University’s Southern Internship Program.

Roland and three other students at Ashland University were not just enjoying the warmer weather down in Florida, but were keeping themselves busy with the amount of responsibility they were given.

Accompanied by faculty members Dr. Teresa Durbin-Ames and Scott Chapman, several students from Ashland University’s Department of Theatre attended the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival (KCACTF) for Region 2 at Townson University in Maryland last week. The 43rd annual regional festival provided opportunities for students and faculty in all aspects of theatre through participation, networking and scholarship.

Ashland University students receive hands-on instruction from professors who are experienced and knowledgeable in their fields of study.
