Professor Kristi Papailler, Department of Theatre Arts

And just like the blouse she wears in her profile pic here, Professor Papailler is colorful, intriguing, smartly presented and just a bounty of liveliness. She has some super fun stories about growing up in Louisville, Kentucky. From that early age she was play acting with her brother and neighborhood friends. Her desire was to attend Columbia University but stayed home and was a student at University of Louisville. Listen and find out why it was a great choice. 

Kristi is so passionate about Theatre Arts that it's contagious! From start to finish you'll be engaged in this interview. Pure entertainment with that dramatic flare.
