Recent UGA Theatre & Film Studies alumni (and even one current student) are making a scene in the Atlanta theatre community. Actor's Express The Go-Go's-based musical Head Over Heals boasts three UGA Theatre alums in its cast: Abby Holland (BA '15), Brandy Sexton (BA '18), Taylor Bahin (BA '18). Head Over Heals closes on August 25 but there are still tickets available at www.actors-express.com/plays/head-over-heels. Actor's Express has hosted Bahin and Sexton, along with Ashleigh Randolph and Jessica Browder, as part of its intern cast for the last year. Skintight, a new comedy opening in September, features Drama Dawg Jake Berne (BA '18) in its cast. For more information on this production, see www.actors-express.com/plays/skintight. Aurora Theatre Aurora Theatre is already significant for UGA Theatre & Film Studies because of UGA alum Anthony Rodriguez, its co-artistic director. But a current production of John Caird and Stephen Schwartz's Children of Eden also features the talents of 2018 graduate Briana Young.
