Hear From a Student
Joe DeLeo
“I would love to be Bill Wilson, professor of musical theatre. Bill and Gel, the director of dance, inspire us to be better and to do great things. They instill in us a passion for what we do. If I can instill that in someone else, I think it would be the greatest gift you could give someone.”
