I figured out that [theater] is what I want to do with my life when I went to Cherubs [at Northwestern] because I did theater all day every day for five weeks straight and I did not get sick of it one bit. I loved every second of it, and I was like ‘Wait it’s over? I could still go for more.’ It was incredible and I think that really showed me that yes, this is what I want to do with my life, and this is something that is so important to me that I have to pursue it, otherwise I will be very sad.” -Paige Harken 18
