Mohl is one of more than 120 Georgia College students and recent graduates doing internships this summer.

Community dance is one of the university’s biggest outreach programs and has been around in some form for at least 20 years.

When watching a production, a vital source—the dramaturg—is often overlooked. It’s the person who researches the history of the roles and setting, adapts the scripts and consults with everyone involved, so the production is on point. Senior Sachen Pillay is an integral member of Georgia College’s production team. The double history and liberal studies major and theatre minor did such a thorough job as a dramaturg for his research on his first production, “Ballet Russes,” that he placed...
