AS: What drew you to the Morrison Center to become a student worker?
KS: I've beeen coming to the Morrison Center for shows since middle school. I saw the Broadway production of Lion King, and I was hooked! I met a lot of the box office people while attending shows and decided to apply to be a student worker. 

AS: What was your favorite part of being a student worker at the Morrison Center?
KS: It's a super fun atmosphere, and the people are amazing! Getting a behind-the-scenes look at Broadway is also fun. I'm a big Broadway fan, and Wicked was one of the first prooductions to come to the Morrison Center while I was working. And getting to see shows is a huge plus!
