This thesis consists of three major sections. The first is a report of my coursework while at the university from August 2010 to April 2013 and how it culminated in an actor process towards working. The second section chronicles my experiences outside of the classroom, with influential persons in the theatrical community, and how they both have added to my process as an actor. The third section is a paper on my process playing the character of Mrs. Dickson of Lynn Nottage’s Intimate Apparel in my final performance at the university, as well as final reflection on where I am in my process as an actor. / text
