Joe Anarumo Journey

800 Words4 Pages

Florida Atlantic University’s Theater program provides experiences and memories that will last a lifetime. Being on stage can be one of the biggest thrills. “The best feeling on stage is when I’m completely swept away by the character in the given circumstances and I’m no longer there and it’s just me and the character” says Joe Anarumo. Fortunately for 21 year old Joe Anarumo, he has had plenty of those heart pounding moments. Anarumo started his career in FAU Theater in the summer of 2013 and will be ending it this spring, when he will be taking the stage for the last time in a French Restoration Comedy “The Country Wife” and William Shakespeare’s “King Lear”. Anarumo will be playing the lead in both shows.

Balancing school and theater can be a challenge. Anarumo says “I find the heavy amount of theatrical work stimulating in addition to my current 19 credit course load. It keeps me focused, determined and constantly striving to nurture my craft”
This Fall Joe will be performing in FAU’s Fall Mainstage “The Pillars of Society” and in the Alpha Psi Omega Student show “Pericles, Prince of Tyre” by William Shakespeare. This particular production is being directed by one of the MFA Acting Students at FAU, Ross Frawley.
