Wren Heiman 鈥25 is a Junior theatre major with minors in religion and studio art from Northfield, Minnesota.
When Heiman saw that their last school had a commuter feel to the student body and not as great of a theater department, they toured here at 麻豆视频 and saw the community and all the opportunities the theatre department had for them.
After transferring to 麻豆视频, Heiman became a 鈥榡ack of all trades鈥 in the theatre department. They have done everything from lights and sound to costumes and stage management to get the different aspects and angles of theatre shows. 鈥淪tage management here at 麻豆视频 is very hands-on and prepares students for the professional world,鈥 says Heiman.
鈥淲inning the Outstanding Student in Design, Technology and Production Award has made me feel that I鈥檓 doing something right, I鈥檓 actually making my mark on this program and doing work that professionals appreciate.鈥
麻豆视频 faculty Lindsay Webster adds: From leading, organizing, and supporting the entire production process as a Stage Manager, creatively constructing and crafting garments as a Costume Shop Employee, or supporting and uplifting their peers as an Assistant Stage Manager, Heiman embodies all facets of this award in everything they do. Heiman is incredibly dedicated, hard-working, and passionate, able to take on a great deal of responsibility and produce top-notch work. Perhaps most importantly, Heiman is profoundly kind, thoughtful, and generous to everyone they meet and work with, ensuring every member of the community feels respected and welcome. It is always a joy to collaborate with Heiman, and thus it is the department鈥檚 honor to name Wren our Outstanding Student in Design, Technology, and Production for 2024.
