Jaden Bartlett is a class of 2026 animation major at PennWest Edinboro, and a highly involved member of campus life. As a student worker, officer of two clubs, and active director/actor/designer in theatre, Bartlett prioritizes education, community, and creativity.
This film is made as the Edinboro Theatre organizations pack to leave the home we have inhabited for 50 odd years. As the University Players president, I was one of the first students informed we had to move out by the end of the Spring semester, and I am convinced that a part of me has broken off and will always live in that space. This film was made to help me process and communicate what my experience has been while reflecting on this space, this people, and our traditions, and the complexity of emotions I feel about moving out. I am so incredibly grateful to all of the members of these organizations that helped me by acting and giving interviews for this project. This film is truly baring a piece of my soul, and I only hope that you may like what you see.
