TheaterMania University - Feb 28, 2012: There are a ton of reasons that people do theater. But a love of drama doesn't always lead to a BFA. Carnegie Mellon's School of Drama is a serious and demanding conservatory, and those who live within its walls seek to better their craft, to learn professionalism, and to be prepared for the world of theater and film. Not every theater-lover wants that, though. That's why I think student organizations are so crucial. At CMU, the student organization for theater is Scotch 'n' Soda. I interviewed freshman Jackie Mishol, who is both a performer with Scotch 'n' Soda as well as a dramaturg in the School of Drama. Jackie has done professional performance work as an actor and dancer before coming to Carnegie Mellon. She has some insight into the key differences between her experience in the School of Drama and in Scotch 'n' Soda.
