Fresh Face Zack Lawson


04/14/2016

Hometown: Dixon, IL

Major/minor: Theatre

Age that I started Theater: 22

Dream role and why: Stage manager for a King Lear at Shakespeare's Globe Theatre in London. It's one of the most known theaters in the world and while not the original location, it's where Shakespeare's plays were performed during his lifetime.

Productions I've been involved in: Red by John Logan at Dixon Stage Left; Hedda Gabler by Henrik Ibsen, at St. Ambrose; The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams at Sauk Valley Community College

Latest project: Noises Off at St. Ambrose

Why SAU? : A friend of mine recommended it to me and when I arrived on campus for my tour and to speak to Dr. Cory Johnson, it just felt like the right place for me to go.

Any job in the world: Stage manager at Shakespeare's Globe Theatre

Who inspires me the most: Anna Kurtz-Kuk. Without her I wouldn't be where I am now.

Where do I see myself in five years: Working in Chicago at either the Chicago Shakespeare or Goodman Theatre. Or I may not have come back from SAU's Theatre in Ireland trip at the end of this semester. Either one is plausible.
