What Our Students Think...

Chelsea Hermann- I've been performing in semi-professional theatre, since 2000. I have performed in various venues across the New Hampshire Seacoast area including Seacoast Repertory Theatre, Hackmatack Playhouse, The Players Ring, Prescott Park and many other community theatres. Most recently I performed in Seacoast Repertory's summer stock season, including RENT, and All Shook Up, where I portrayed "Mark's Mom" and "Miss Sandra".

Sean Morris-Since I have been at Dean, I have made so many great friends. I have felt so welcomed that I joined four clubs to become more involved. It feels great to be a part of a community that is so welcoming. Everyone is very supportive and push me to be my best self. Since being at Dean I have received very good grades and even made honors. Dean is really a great place to branch out and just be yourself.

Ethan Serkey-I got my Associate of Arts degree at Dean seven years ago. Now I’m back, because there’s no place like it. With a newly-built theatre and accompanying Bachelor’s degree program, including permanent and guest faculty who are experienced and renowned theatre professionals, Dean is providing more amazing opportunities for Performing Arts students than ever before.

Jacob Waxman- I came to Dean from a small high school, where classes only had about 6 students each, so naturally I was nervous going into the college environment. I expected that I would be able to get help when I needed it, and that I would have fun while I was here, but my experience here at Dean has already turned out to be so much better than anyone could have imagined (much less myself!). The academic support system in place has helped me overcome difficulties, and the professors really do care that I succeed. Dean isn’t just a school, it’s a home to its students.
