Abstract
This thesis seeks to provide a culminating record of actor experience and training through written text and digital media. Included is a journal of the actor process, a teaching philosophy, and filmed performances of the original piece "It Just Might Be" by Lauren Elens and a monologue taken and adapted from "Ferret Envy" by Tara Meddaugh. The digital portion of this thesis, which includes a filmed personal interview of Lauren Elens, was directed, filmed and edited by Michael Duni. The portfolio and its supplemental materials showcase direct application of graduate actor study to professional performance.
