“Ultimately I am both an artist and an academic, which is why I love dramaturgy so much. It melds those two worlds in a very beautiful way. At the core, though, I really just want to fully support myself with my art and help make art that is socially conscious, lifts up the voices of underrepresented groups and makes a difference in the world.” —Noah Ezell '20, a two-time Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival (KCACTF) Award winner
