Alumni Spotlight

Ashley DiPasquale ’21

“I really like the teachers and directors that I have been able to work with and learn from. I chose the SUNY Niagara Theatre Arts program because of how diversified the program is and how much I could learn in only two years. After I graduate, I am going to transfer to a four-year college for theatre and deaf studies.”
