by Mari Pizzini–<\/strong>Adam Gonshorowski is a rising star in the film and theatre business in Sioux City.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gonshorowski graduated from Morningside College in\u00a02010. A Dakota City, Nebraska, native, Gonshorowski earned him a BA, propelling him towards a fascination with the arts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Though Gonshorowski began with a focus in film and screen, he has recently been transitioning from film to theatre.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTheatre is a recent development in my portfolio of work,\u201d Gonshorowski said. \u201cFirst and foremost, my work has consisted of film and television, but there are different challenges working in that medium that makes theatre more accessible to work in at this time.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

He detailed that his childhood was filled with great movies and films, but rarely theatre. This lack of theatrical \u201cintervention\u201d caused Gonshorowski to lean more towards film production. Sophomore year of high school changed that.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAround sophomore year I picked up an app called Final Draft and a book titled The Screenwriter\u2019s Bible. \u00a0The combination of the software and book gave me an insight into writing screenplays and I unlocked the key to writing.\u201d He began to vigorously apply to Graduate schools in Film Production and landed in the middle of the largest city in the film industry: Los Angeles, California.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI was taught by the best in the business, everyone from J.J. Abrams, Roberto Orci, to my mentor and prolific writer, Jeph Loeb.\u201d Loyola Marymount University left no stone unturned and Gonshorowski believed he was headed towards studio writing.<\/span><\/p>\n

After three years of some of the best teaching in the world, Gonshorowski made a big move back to Sioux City where his first true production, \u201cThe Truman Decision,\u201d was\u00a0performed in November at Evelyn Larson Theatre. \u201cI decided to start my own production company with the goal of producing films, television, and theatre. \u00a0That\u00a0brings\u00a0us to today after over 15 years of trying to get here.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Gonshorowski is leading a new era of theatre with self-written productions. Khiana Hume, a Morningside College Freshman with a passion for theatre, explained how she feels about the changing theatre scene.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s\u00a0amazing and is becoming more culturally diverse and inclusive.\u201d Theatre productions are now trying to push the agenda of incorporating differences. Hume also believes that the growth of theatre is acting as a new News medium.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe audience can relate more to\u00a0it [theatre] because the modern issues are being presented to them by real people and not a screen.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

While Gonshorowski began in the screen industry, he is now pushing the stage and live action. \u201cMost of them [new productions] push boundaries and that is what makes them great because they are original.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe more we humanize entertainment the more beneficial it will be for our society,\u201d said Chloe Person, a freshman English major.<\/span><\/p>\n
