Cyclone Spotlight: Indira Sheumaker

Liz Cleaveland

Indira Sheumaker, an open option freshman, has been cast as the little sister of the main character in the ISU Theatre’s production of “The Three Musketeers.” Theater is a passion of hers, and she is looking forward to performing in another upcoming play.

Is this your first production here at Iowa State?

This is my first college theater experience. It is so fun, and I’ve had the best time. I’m so glad I did this.

Were you in theater before you came here?

I did theater in high school for a little bit and took a drama class in eighth grade.

What do you want to do next in theater? Do you have your eye on any particular role?

I want to do One Acts. I know Kivan [Kirk] and Vinecia [Coleman] are doing a project that I’ve been considering doing. It’s a workshop; Vinecia wrote some plays and she’s working on getting some directors and actors together. I definitely want to do One Acts.

Would you major in theater?

I’m an open option student, and I have been looking at performing arts major or maybe a minor.

What are your future plans as far as acting goes?

I think it’d be really cool to work in television. Not necessarily acting, but I want to write a television show or be a write for a show and possibly look at play writing.
