July 2nd, 2018

At a Sunday afternoon performance of “Trailing Rhiannon” this spring, Emma Watkins of the Class of 2018 sat atop the balcony of the Wallace Theater, anxiously watching the performance. Watkins, an English major, is no stranger to the theater; she had been on stage many times throughout high school as well as during her time at Princeton. However, this time was different than the others; this time, Watkins wrote the piece that her peers were performing.
“I had the opportunity to see my words, but spoken by somebody else, which was exhilarating,” she said. “But it’s also completely terrifying because suddenly you’re vulnerable in a completely new way.”
