Guest artist named for C-SC’s annual Guest Artist Production
Culver-Stockton’s annual Guest Artist production will feature actor Courtney Gains this November in Tom Griffin’s The Boys Next Door. Gains’ body of work includes a variety of roles in films such as Children of the Corn, Sweet Home Alabama, and Back to the Future. In addition to his extensive film roles, Gains has starred in several guest-artist roles on sitcoms such as Seinfield, My Name is Earl, and Monk.
Every year, the C-SC Fine Arts Department brings a guest artist to campus. It is an opportunity for students and faculty to experience theater with a professional actor/actress. Students are able to work with the actor on stage, behind the scenes, and in workshops and master classes, learning new techniques in the art and sharing first-hand experience of how the profession plays out on a day-to-day basis.
