In Kelby Horne's Hallowed Be Thy Name, a young man grapples with the aftermath of his crime as he faces execution. Through multiple narratives the truth emerges: his solitary death leaves him forgotten by all, but his grieving mother. 

As part of a class project, I directed Joan of Arc's monologue from Henry VI, where she proclaims her divine calling as a virtuous and holy figure chosen by celestial grace. I chose a balcony on campus as the location, with the audience looking up at Joan of Arc (played by Cate Bounds). The difference in height wasn't very significant, so it maintained an intimacy between Joan of Arc and her accusers (the audience in this case).

As a contrasting piece to Joan of Arc's defiance against social norms, Cate also performed a monologue from 'The Forced Marriage,' shifting the focus to emphasize the importance of tradition and parental guidance. The choice of a garden with a fountain as the setting enhanced the performance, with the surroundings being heavily utilized during the monologue. 

Collaborated closely with the director to bring the production to life, actively contributing to the creative process by assisting in scene blocking and ensuring the realization of the director's vision. Provided invaluable support and guidance to the props team, enhancing the authenticity and atmosphere of the play. Demonstrated a keen eye for detail by taking meticulous notes during rehearsals and live shows, contributing to a polished and consistent performance. Flexibly supported the stage managers as needed, showcasing adaptability and a commitment to the production's smooth operation.
