Lauren Ray graduated from our program in 2009 with a B.A. Theatre Arts and French, and she's now a teacher and speech and debate coach at Northwest Rankin High School in Flowood, MS. She also serves on the board of the Mississippi Theater Association as the Youth Co-Vice Chair for Individual Events.
Lauren and I had a lot to talk about, so our conversation will be spread across two episodes. In this episode, we'll discuss, of course, her time at UM, as well as her thoughts on the importance of community theatre (in particular in Mississippi) and a special play-reading project she set up for herself.
