Leah Gawel: Winner of the ATHE/ KCACTF Award for Innovation
Presented at the Kennedy Center American College Theatre (KCACTF) Region III Festival, this award is granted to a graduate student displaying outstanding, innovative work. In addition to receiving the prize at the festival’s Gold Medallion ceremony, she was also invited to present her thesis topic (Fundamentalism and Artistry: A Look at Religious Trauma and the Vocalist) at the KCACTF Festival 54.
“Let This Road be Mine”
A Graduate Recital
In partial fulfillment of the degree of Master of Music in Music Theatre Vocal Pedagogy, Carthage College, Kenosha, WI.
This year has been an extremely challenging one, both mentally and emotionally. I believe that this recital not only highlights growth made, but also attempts to accept the imperfections as what makes us all uniquely human.
If you like my work, consider donating to my Venmo, @LeahGawelKeller, to help me with my graduate school loans. Stay tuned for the release of my Master’s Thesis: “Fundamentalism and Artistry” (date TBD).
