Every semester the campus is entertained with a dramatic performance by the SHU Players. There is always something new, interesting and relevant to student life coming from the Edgerton Theatre when the drama club is performing.

Similar to every other club here at the heart, a president is needed to lead and organize the club; senior Bridget Steckis is just the person to take on this role.

Steckis has been involved in the SHU Players since freshman year.

"I joined [SHU Players] as a freshman because I was interested in the arts on campus. Our relationship pretty much evolved from there," said Steckis.

Since freshman year Steckis has strived to act and do what's best for the Players. Her hard work for the club has been evident, as she has proven throughout her years as a member.

Rob Napolitano, a freshman and a member of the SHU Players, has taken notice to the dedication Steckis has shown to the club as well as its members.

"Bridget is really passionate about SHU players. She really cares about the club and everyone in it. She puts a lot of extra time into it to try and really make it great," said Napolitano

Steckis is no stranger to acting and has been doing it since a young child.

"I was introduced to acting when I was 8 and I just really dug it from the beginning," said Steckis.

Along with the SHU Players, Steckis is also involved with and very passionate about the English Club.

"I think the club is a great little force of energy. We take trips to the movies, open mic nights and generally enjoy each other's company," said Steckis.

Soon to be graduating in May, Steckis has big plans for the future.

"I would like to move toward Manhattan in order to work Public Relations or advertising," said Steckis.

"I would love to find opportunities to act post-college. Once I settle into my life I'll be able to see where that could potentially fit in, but I'll miss the Players."
