Olivia-Goodman-Champion.jpg

Campus Champion

When the Performing Arts Department gets a standing ovation, you can be sure that senior musical theatre major Olivia Goodman played a role. She’s been a volunteer choreography assistant and dance captain for five mainstage shows, including the current production, “Anything Goes,” as well as additional student performances. As a dance captain, she works closely with the creative team, acts as a liaison to her fellow actors and manages outside choreography rehearsals. She loves the creativity and collaboration needed to create dance and theater, and is heading up a student-directed dance concert called Dance Demonstration on May 10.
