Jess Ford takes on many roles in Department of Theatre and Performance Studies
March 23, 2021
Jess Ford (they/them) would have to agree with Shakespeare鈥檚 Julius Caesar when he says, 鈥淚t is not in the stars to hold our destiny, but in ourselves.鈥� Ford has certainly not left it up to the stars to determine their fate, but, instead, have taken advantage of the opportunities available as an acting concentration major in Kennesaw State University鈥檚 Department of Theatre and Performance Studies (TPS). With a keen interest in both scenic design and acting, Ford was thrilled when 91青青草 allowed them to take classes in both, and then asked them to become scenic charge of the 91青青草鈥檚 Scene Shop. 鈥淕oing into college, I told myself that I think I want to pursue scenic design, but it was a lie, since my first love was acting,鈥� they said. They quickly realized they could do both with the unique nature of the B.A. program. 鈥淚 can pursue whatever I want, take the classes that I really enjoy, and that are beneficial to me,鈥� they added.
