Mary Eliza Hendricks

Why did you choose Emory & Henry College?
I chose Emory & Henry for its wonderful Theatre major and partnership with Barter Theatre; for its rigorous Honors Program; and for its beautiful and small campus atmosphere.
……………
Extracurricular Interests
In addition to theatre, I am also an avid visual artist as well as a dancer. I love making food and hosting get-togethers with my friends, and I am a sibling of Pi Sigma Kappa, a wonderful social Greek organization on campus (we’re the purple and gold ones), as well as a brother of Alpha Psi Omega, a Theatre and Arts Honors Fraternity!
…………
Favorite Place on Campus
The window seat alcoves outside the theatre professor’s offices, or what I like to call “The Theatre Department’s Living Room.”
……………
Is there a project you are excited to work on?
I am very excited to work on the Theatre Department’s Virtual Play Festival “Outbreak: Appalachia in the time of COVID-19” in several different capacities.

What is something you want to do while in college?
I’ve done a lot of them—spend more time looking at the stars at night.
.……………
How do you want to change the world?
Through compassionate and inclusive artistry. I want to create.
