Shelby Solla ’18

When I started at MMC as a playwriting major, I knew that I loved writing and theatre, but had never written a play and had no idea where to start. My classes at MMC taught me the skills I needed to piece together my playwriting tool belt, discover my creative process, and establish my individual voice as a writer.

My classes at MMC taught me the skills I needed to piece together my playwriting tool belt, discover my creative process, and establish my individual voice as a writer. Having companions for two full years who felt the same growing pains was incredibly important and provided me with a built-in support system for post-grad. Now, as an alumni, I see how fortunate I was to have been part of a program that not only helped to shape my creative identity, but also gave me the opportunities and savvy to take on the professional world confidently.”
