and even in our hearts. For over 55 years, Webster University’s Sargent Conservatory of Theatre Arts has been guided by the core belief that there is power in a strong ensemble. No matter what role we play—whether it is in the rehearsal hall, in class, onstage, backstage, in the booth, or in the shops—each of us performs as part of a larger team effort.
