Musical Theatre Major Highlights “Performance” Learning Experiences
Though she is a self-proclaimed hometown girl from Maroa, Ill., Olivia “Liv” Crabtree’s aspirations for her future career reach far beyond Central Illinois. Currently a sophomore majoring in musical theatre at Millikin University, Liv hopes to one day direct, produce and star in her own work on Broadway.
Millikin’s College of Fine Arts proved to be the perfect avenue to continue her journey toward achieving her goals on the big stage. Liv already felt at home at Millikin, having frequently visited campus with her mother, a Millikin University alumna while she was growing up. Liv was also drawn in by having a top-ranked musical theatre program nearby, meaning she could stay at home and attend classes as a commuter student.
Like most musical theatre students in Millikin University’s College of Fine Arts, Liv came to Millikin with a decorated background of roles and performances under her belt. This past summer, Liv starred as Belle in “Beauty and the Beast,” for Mid-Summer Movement Productions out of Oreana, Ill. Her experiences in Millikin’s musical theatre program, however, have piqued her interest in all aspects of theatre.
