Atefeh Madi is a Saddleback College student with a busy schedule this semester. Last semester she appeared in Saddleback produc ons of A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Talking With… This year she’s star ng out the fall semester with behind-the-scene classes. She is enrolled in Theatre Scenery Pain ng, Applied Technical Theatre Produc-

on, and Stagecra . She shows up to the shop Monday through Thursday, and she gets to build the sets for upcoming theatre shows. She’s currently working on Fahren-heit 451 and she is amazed with the projec on designs of the set. Atefeh says, “Every day I leave the shop with a genuine sense of accomplishment. I’m so grateful for every opportunity to bring stories to life using my two bare hands.”

As one of the newest members of the Angels for the Arts Board of Directors, Atefeh was thrilled to be elected on-to the Board due to having recently been the recipient of the Angels for the Arts scholarship last semester in Ac ng. She stated that she feels honored to be among an incredibly passionate group of accomplished individuals with a sense of purpose that is inspiring to her. She saw the Angels in ac on during the Summer of Theatre this past summer and she is doing her best to pay it forward by helping build partnerships between the Angels and the Saddleback Arts community. Atefeh stated, “As an actor-in-training at Saddleback College, I have had the honor of learning from some of the best in the performing arts industry. Dr. Sco Farthing has taught me to redis-cover my singing voice. Bill McGuire taught me to be courageous on stage and not to fear looking silly.” Hal Lan-don, Jr. directed Atefeh in Talking With…, and she thoroughly enjoyed her part as the “Snake Handler.” Ge ng to watch Hal work was a real treat for Atefeh. That show will always have a special place in her heart. She plans to pursue professional screen ac ng once she finishes her training at Saddleback. Atefeh is currently in Bodies & Ink: Celebra ng Na onal Banned Books Week through Movement, Music and The-atre, which is directed by chair of Saddleback’s Dance Department Deidre Cavazzi. Atefeh will be portraying Seraphina in a scene from Tennessee Williams’ The Rose Ta oo. She encourages everyone to take advantage of the chance to see the talented students and faculty in what will be an event to remember. The show is in the Li-brary & Learning Resource Center on September 30—Oct 1, 7 & 8 at 7:309 pm and October 2 & 9 at 2:30 pm. Tick-ets are $10 presale or $15 at the door. For ckets, call 949-582-4656 or www.saddleback.edu/arts. “I'm a two- me law school dropout. I truly believe that my community college experience gave me the courage to fail and restart. I le law, and I found ac ng,” says Atefeh . However, her educa onal background is quite impressive. She earned an AA degree in Anthropology and English Literature at Saddleback College in 2003, and a BA degree in Middle Eastern Studies at UC Berkeley. She is grateful that she a ended Saddleback prior to heading out into the world. Ate-feh stated, “I found a support system at Saddleback College that gave me the confidence to dare to do.” Two years ago, a er leaving law school for the second

me, she found that support once again in Fine Arts & Media Technology. “Saddleback College is a gem. I found a place here 15 years ago, a newly sworn-in American ci zen. I found many passions here, and I encourage, in fact, I chal-lenge everyone to do the same. You won’t be disappointed,” says Atefeh. Come and see Atefeh Madi in Bodies & Ink this weekend or next weekend. You’ll get to see the reasons 11 books were banned in a passionate and enter-taining experience.
