The College of Arts and Sciences at Oklahoma State University has named Department of Theatre student Jordan Burks as its Spring 2025 Orange Gown Graduate.

Burks, who is completing a bachelor's degree in theatre with minors in history and Russian, developed a passion for the stage while at OSU. But not as an actor; Burks has focused the last four years on becoming a stage manager. She recently sat down with OSU graduate assistants Adeola Favour and Kierstin Pigg to discuss her OSU experience on the Pokes PodCAS, the official podcast of the College of Arts and Sciences. She shares what she's learned working on plays and musicals, what she's doing after graduation, and what she hopes to do as her career progresses.
