Professional actor Patti Murin ’02 just finished her most recent run on Broadway—the lead role in the new musical Lysistrata Jones. How did she go from SU student to rave reviews on the New York stage?
She honed her craft in the Tepper Semester, SU’s New York City immersion program for drama students. There, she took advanced classes with working actors, producers, and directors in the heart of the theater district. Learned how to adapt to life in the city. And made valuable connections within SU’s vast alumni network.
The Tepper Semester is just one of the many programs that leverage NYC’s diverse, dynamic environment to give students a huge head start on their careers. Learn about many more NYC programs.
Murin is not unusual in her success. In fact, Tepper alums are being cast on Broadway in unprecedented numbers. Read about it.
