Industry Speaker

Events, Extracurricular Opportunities

UNI THEATRE ARTS was lucky enough to host 1997 University High School Alumni, Omid Abtahi for an Industry Speaker Event in the Little Theatre.

Omid graduated from Cal State Fullerton in 2001 where he was involved in the Acting BA at the same time Miss Bettger and Mrs. Gaona attended as Theatre Education majors.

Omid Abtahi has blazed trails for actors in the Persian community and it was such an honor to have him speak to our students about his experiences in the industry. He graciously donated his time on May 3, 2023 to speak with this group of IUSD Theatre students.

Thanks!
