Campus Champion

Catherine Skojec grew up appreciating classical theatre, so it’s fitting she earned the lead role of Fiona in the upcoming production of “Brigadoon.” The senior musical theatre major from Sherrill, N.Y., felt called to the College’s Performing Arts Department. “It’s like a family, and you won’t find that everywhere,” she says. You also won’t find many undergraduates with Catherine’s talent. This past summer, she was nominated for a Wilde Award while touring in Michigan. And after graduation, she plans to work professionally in New York City. First, however, comes Friday’s “Brigadoon” premiere and a role for which Catherine was destined.
