PAWS UP 🐾 

For our final #PantherAlumniWeek CARTA spotlight, we caught up with BFA in Theatre alum Brandon Urrutia ’20 (brandokthehut ) as they returned to FIU to reflect on their journey from student to artist 🎭 

Now the Artistic Director and co-founder of LakehouseRanchDotPNG, an absurdist and experimental theatre company shaping South Florida’s creative scene, Brandon shares how FIU’s theatre program prepared them for life both on and off the stage. 

During their visit, Brandon also joined a panel conversation alongside fellow alums Victoria Collado and JC Gutierrez, coming together to share insights, experiences, and advice with the next generation of Panthers. 

Panther Alumni Week may be ending, but the impact continues. Check out Brandon’s advice for current Theatre students and how CARTA’s hands-on, experiential learning prepares Panthers for the real world long after the curtain falls.
