Dana Freeman ’25 Earns Design Scholarship
Presented to undergraduate students, LiveDesign’s Pat MacKay Diversity In Design scholarships support diverse and unique voices in the field of entertainment design.
Dana Freeman ’25 applied for Live Design’s scholarship after receiving a tip from a guest speaker in her Introduction to Sound Class.
“I found out about the scholarship through word of mouth. I reached out to sound designer Evan Cook … to ask questions about sound design as a career and he happened to recommend applying for the scholarship.”
The scholarship is worth up to $5,000 toward tuition costs.
Freeman is drawn to theatre for its unique ability to move an audience and to theatre design specifically to have a role in creating that experience for the audience in collaboration with others.
“By choosing what to do or not to do in conjunction with the other design teams, we directly customize and influence the experience of the audience, and make a play come to life.
“It can be the difference between a good play and a great play! Having this direct influence on a production drew me to design and is what keeps me coming back.”
Freeman is pursuing a major in Theatre and Performance with concentrations in Production and Alt Performance Practice, and two minors in Playwriting and Literature.
