Toriya (Tori) Buford is a Senior in the Theatre Program. She is excited that Cicada is her final production here at MTSU and has enjoyed her time working on the serval productions she's been a part of. She's enjoyed being an ASM on The Busie Body, Assistant Directing on Anon(ymous), and Directing Last August (MTSU 6x10) last spring! She would like to thank her fiancé, her friends, and her family (new and old) for supporting her through this journey. She'd also like to thank her amazing cast and crew for all the hard work they put into creating the world of Cicada! She cannot wait to see the exciting things the upcoming directors will bring in the spring season, and she hopes y’all enjoy the show!
