Quoted in an article about the Rivoli Theater

Posted by yvette

A student reporter from BYU’s Daily Universe contacted me last week with some questions about the Rivoli Theater. The article was published yesterday: Springville residents rally together to renovate historic theater.

There are a couple of typos in the article, including the most annoying kind possible—the reference URL at the end. I wonder how many people were interested in learning more and were disappointed because of an error message due to the extra L in Rivoli. It’s a good reminder to use a proofreader whenever possible and always triple-check those details and citations.

Regardless of the errors, more local coverage of the Rivoli Theater is a good thing. Awareness really is the big battle for non-profit organizations trying to raise funds. I’m also happy that the reporter used this quote of mine:

“I saw a real benefit in working with a local organization because, as easy as remote communication is these days,” Beaudoin said. “I think that becoming involved with the community in which you live is a much more rewarding experience.”

I am honored to say that I’m featured in the Fall 2011 edition of UVU Magazine! You’ll even see a photo of me, taken inside the vacant Rivoli Theater, on page 10 in the “UVU Engage” section.

UVU Magazine article: DGM Students Help Revive Theater for Senior Project

The article highlights the real-world experience I obtained and the community benefit of my senior Digital Media project with the Rivoli Theater. The university promotes itself as graduating students with a degree and a resume, which is exactly how it worked for me. Granted, my team and I worked hard to make the most of our opportunity!

Even though it was my second bachelor’s degree and I had prior/ongoing work experience, I sought to expand my knowledge in less familiar areas like project management, WordPress site development, and documentary film production. It was a great experience, regardless of the accolades and attention that this project has received. The reason I am most thankful for press coverage like this article is that it brings more attention to the theater’s cause.
