Natalie Brouwer graduated from Lee in 2014 with a degree in theatre. Since then, she has attended grad school, earning her MFA in acting, and gone on to perform for countless regional theatres throughout the U. S. as a professional actor and singer. “I am so grateful to be making my living as a performer, and my time at Lee is a big reason why it’s possible,” she said. “Lee prepared me in many ways, but I specifically learned how to be a more flexible performer and have a “yes, let’s!” attitude. In a field where I’m usually one of only a few believers, it’s been important for me to elevate my faith and my art without compromising my faith, and Lee taught me a lot in that regard.”
