A Year in Roanoke, VA

Live, work, and play in downtown Roanoke, a historic and bustling Virginia city with a wide array of food, culture, and activities. Apprentices are housed in the Mill Mountain Theatre Atelier, a historic hotel walking distance from the theatre, restaurants, museums, and the City Market with local vendors and farmers. Journey outside to enjoy one of the hundreds of hikes in Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains.

I owe everything and more to Mill Mountain Theatre and the wonderful teachers for filling my life with art! Mill Mountain Theatre isn’t a place of strict, scary learning. They truly look at the strengths of all their students and create art with each and every body.

Being an apprentice at Mill Mountain Theatre was one of the most rewarding and eye opening experiences that I have had as a theatre artist… They took the time to get to know who I am. They shared with me what they know, what they love, and their home. Mill Mountain and all of the beautiful people who are a part of it will always hold a special place in my heart. The genuine connection, acceptance, and comfort I felt is something that I will never forget. Lifelong friendships were made, and meaningful life lessons were learned. I grew as a person, as well as a theatre artist. I could not have asked for more.

My time here at MMT has been nothing short of wonderful. I’ve been able to grow in such a safe and exciting environment. I feel completely prepared for my acting career after this and am so lucky that I got to start it here. The apprenticeship program teaches you how to be a smart actor, how to interact in a professional setting, and how to be a better human. The connections you make here will last you a lifetime and you will leave trusting your skills and ability to create magic on a stage. MMT is an extraordinary place full of exceptional people who have nothing but the best interests for you in mind. Those who have the privilege of calling this place home for the year are incredibly fortunate, and I, for one, will always cherish the incredible time I spent here..
