Summer Spotlight: Grace Lazarz

"I am volunteering in Accra, Ghana with a free arts education program founded by DePauw alum Lisa Sutherland ('13) called Summer Shakespeare.  It provides young adults of the Accra area with theatre skills and the experience of putting on a Shakespeare play free of charge.  I enjoy it, because not only am I experiencing a new culture and place, but I am getting to do what I love most--which is to help teach theatre to young people.  It has helped me grow as a director and given me new insight for when I return home, as I am a director for DePauw's Spring Spectacle of Shakespeare, a volunteer with the Castle Arts program, and work as a theatre camp counselor during the summer."
