COMM MAJORS usually find their niche in any of these four tracks: advertising, journalism, media studies, or production. There is one more field, however, where they shine. It involves bright lights, background music, good acting, and sometimes, a standing ovation.
Indeed, for Marvin Ong—Blue Repertory’s lead actor for its upcoming play Batboy—the stage is just another medium where effective communicators can share stories and effect change.
