Tess Rosenthal started performing in theater at age 5 and is graduating with a major in Theater Studies at 22. She also pursued a concentration in arts management and a minor in Religion. She has experienced all sides of theater at Emory within academic and extracurriculars in acting, directing (over Zoom), and administrating. All of this experience culminated in her honors thesis titled Dinner Theater: A Revival which focused on researching the past and present of dinner theater to create a concept and business plan for a modern dinner theater.
What's next? Tess Rosenthal is excited to pursue a career in arts management. The near future holds exploration and higher education!
Favorite accomplishment? My favorite accomplishment was completing my honors thesis! I loved getting to research dinner theater and build my own concept around that research. It truly felt like the culmination of my college experience.
ever since she was the king in prince and the pea I knew she’d show everyone up. proud to say I was the first person she made look bad ✌️
