David H. Parker’s “big dream” is in motion.
Parker will graduate May 1 from the University of Alabama at Birmingham, with a Bachelor of Arts degree in performance and directing from the College of Arts and Sciences’ Department of Theatre.
Their next destination is the University of California, Los Angeles, where they will pursue a Master of Fine Arts degree in theater directing on a full scholarship through UCLA’s Graduate Opportunity Fellowship beginning this fall.
“Everything I aspired to but never thought I could realistically achieve 10 years ago led to UCLA, and now I’m getting paid to go,” Parker said. “So, by speaking my next big dream into the world, I, too, give that dream a pair of legs and a set of lungs.”
