Britt Mitchell will make you laugh. Having just completed her Bachelor of Arts degree in Theatre with a minor in Creative Writing this December, she's been perfecting her comedic craft in the theatre department the last several years. Her supporting roles have delighted audiences with her truthful silliness from Red Noses to Fools to Vagina Monologues. An aspiring playwright, Britt has written ten minute plays for the Student Works Theatre project, and comedic sketches for Grandma's Third Leg, Salem State's improv troupe. She was the winner of Salem State's Laugh Off last year. This spring, she will direct for Student Theatre Ensemble, Steve Martin's The Underpants. A comedienne, yes, but she takes her work seriously and is attending the Kennedy Center American College Theatre festival nominated as a dramaturg for HurlyBurly. She also performs the role of Bridget Bishop for Cry Innocent, a re-enactment of the Salem Witch Trials in downtown Salem, and on the Salem Trolley as a guide. She's a great example of one of the many creative students at Salem State who use every resource to get a great education. She looks forward to doing more stand up comedy, publishing books and plays in the future. We're happy to have had you on campus, Britt! Keep laughing.
