No closed doors

From performing to directing to storytelling, Emily Radcliffe's undergraduate experience demonstrates her desire "to do all the things." By Olivia Vanderwal Faculty of Arts If you were on campus last term, you might recognize Emily Radcliffe from posters advertising the Theatre and Performance program's production of Portia's Julius Caesar. For herself, as strange as it was to see her own face posted around campus, it was even more unexpected to be cast in the lead role of Portia. "It was an experience that helped me to unlearn a lot of lessons I was taught over the years about who I am, who I can be, and what I'm capable of." Now a Distinguished Academic Achievement award winner, Emily is graduating this spring from the Honours Arts and Business program with a major in Theatre and Performance. She was initially drawn to the program because it gave her the flexibility to explore her creative interests while expanding job opportunities. "I was like, I like too many things, so I'm just not going to choose. I'm going to do all the things." Reflecting back, she notes how versatile her education was and the support she had, specifically from her theatre professors.
