Susana Kuhn is a second year student from Staten Island, New York. Her love for theater began when she first discovered the soundtrack for the Broadway Musical, Gypsy and ever since then she has performed in over 15 musical productions, her favorite being a production of The Music Man with First Year Players here at the University of Virginia. Prior to that she participated in several productions through her high school theater program including Pippin, In the Heights, Hairspray, and Chicago as well as other productions within her local theater community such as Mamma Mia and Hair. As an Art’s Scholar, Susana hopes to expand beyond Musicals to get more involved with the political side of theater and work to use the arts as a tool to amplify voices that are typically neglected or ignored. She is so grateful to have been granted this opportunity and is excited to work alongside the other Arts Scholars throughout the rest of her academic career.
