Valente ’25
Valente’s Shipley journey is one of growth, risk, and creative discovery. Arriving in 8th grade, he quickly found community and, through Studio Theater, developed his voice as a performer while exploring music through Jazz Band and composition. Taking a chance on his first musical, Sister Act, led to a lead role and a new passion, preparing him to follow his dreams at Franklin & Marshall College, where he will study Theater and Environmental Science.
