Profile

Ali King is a senior anthropology major at Haverford College. A lifelong aficionado of the performing arts, Ali has accompanied anthropology courses with piano lessons and theatre seminars. During college she acted (A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Harold Pinter’s A Slight Ache, one-acts of Tennessee Williams, and Michael Blieden’s Staged Reading sponsored by the Lutton Fund) on all three of the tri-co campuses. Ali continues to have a ball as a member of Haverford’s longform comedy improvisation group, The Throng. Hailing from Saint Louis, Missouri, she has enjoyed observing the flourishing arts and culture scene in Philadelphia. Last summer she interned for the Arden Theatre’s development department and for marketing at the Wilma Theater. After a whirlwind semester studying in Prague this past spring, Ali was fortunate to receive a Hurford Humanities summer internship with the Pennsylvania Humanities Council, working with “Arts Commentary: Perspectives on the Arts” grants. This semester, Ali had the opportunity to interview Amy Sedaris at Haverford, as well as perform as “Karen” in SERVICE, a new play by Jesse Paulsen. After college, Ali plans on pursuing public advocacy of culture and the arts.
