Bex Schmitt has a BA in Theatre and Secondary English Education and is currently working on a Masters in Interdisciplinary Theatre Studies at UW-Madison. She has been a TA for Eng/Thtr 120 for the past three semesters, and before coming to UW she taught High School English back home in Colorado. Bex has been a theatre and performance artist for her whole life, and she is thrilled to have an opportunity to combine that with her work as an activist.  Currently, Bex is researching queer performance and she hopes to continue to learn more about the vivid landscape of theatre here in the Midwest.
