Rosebud Graduates Ready for Professional Theatre Rural Alberta school producing next generation of professional theatre artists Rosebud, Alberta "“ After four years of hard work and dedicated study, three new graduates of Rosebud School of the Arts were honoured at the annual ROSAs convocation and awards ceremony, September 20 in Rosebud. Education Director, Maki Van Dyke proudly presented the school's highest credential "“ Fellow of Rosebud School of the Arts (FRSA) "“ to three new graduates who joined the RSA guild, noting that "this is a guild that recognizes that our most meaningful art-making is intimately connected with our spiritual life. We acknowledge that our art demands the full commitment of everything that we are and are created to be. We believe that quality of craftsmanship is as important as loving our audience." The three RSA graduates for 2009 (and their major area of study) are as follows: Belinda Jackson (Technical Theatre) from Morden, MB; Kelsey Krogman (Acting) from Red Deer; and Sammantha-Dawn Reindardt (Acting) from Wainwright. In addition to the convocation of new graduates, Rosebud School of the Arts also awarded Certificates in Theatre Foundations to eight students for completion of their first year of studies, and Diplomas to seven students for completion of their second year of studies. With the highest number of recruits in the certificate program ever and 31 students enrolled in total across the four-year training program at RSA, the school has high hopes for future graduates. Former recruitment officer and current head of acting, Nathan Schmidt says, "We've got a great group of passionate, inquisitive first-year students starting out on their exploration of theatre and themselves. The new school year always bring remarkable challenges, we're looking forward to it."
