Ending Alumni Month, we have brought in CFA Alum, Melanie Allen.
Tyler Flynn chats with Melanie Allen, a Pepperdine alum from Castle Rock, CO who graduated in 2018 with a theatre production/design degree, with a specific emphasis in stage management. During her time at Pepperdine, she served as the CFA Student Marketing Assistant, and supported numerous productions such as Big Fish, Hedda Gabler, The Magic Flute, and Crazy for You. Since graduating, Melanie has received a Master's degree in Stage Management at Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama in Wales, worked in various backstage roles with Cirque du Soleil productions in Las Vegas, Nevada, and she is currently an Activities Director at a Senior Living Facility.
Melanie remarks fondly upon her time in the Pepperdine theater program, highlighting her experiences on the Edinburgh trip, her favorite productions, and her time working for the Center for the Arts. Her commitment to the arts is inspiring, and those interested in the arts will appreciate her insight and advice.
