Leadership is paradoxical according to Heather Baker and Katie Willhite, directors of Rough Draft, campus ministries’ drama group that is sharing Christ’s message through theater.

Senior Baker has been applying her “love of theater directly into [her] love of God in a really tangible way” through Rough Draft for three years, while junior Willhite has been involved for two years in the group.

“It’s different because I think we’re both non-confrontational people and as director you’re having to make decisions like who am I going to cast for this, who am I going to send to this Dnow,” Baker said. “When you’re just a member you’re just along for the ride, but I think there’s a lot of rewards that come with that too.”
