Overview
"This thesis examines the contributing factors to the wellbeing of student actors in undergraduate study. Literature is reviewed in the areas of actor wellbeing, trauma science, and potential areas of harm to the student actor. Qualitative interviews of current graduate students are examined to explore the real-life experience of former student actors. Their testimony speaks to the aspects that contribute and detract from student actor wellbeing inside and outside of the classroom." -- Abstract
