Theater

When Thalia Goldstein studies children in theater, she looks at the skills they’ve gained not only in acting, but in life. She’s aiming to help them develop a heightened sense of empathy as a result of the bonding and teamwork they experience during various theater exercises and activities.

Amanda Snellings is the assistant director of development at Mason's College of Visual and Performing Arts, but when she's off the clock, she is also the artistic director of City of Fairfax Theatre Company.
