Flihan, now a junior at NYU, said her application to the program wasn’t initially planned.

“I decided to apply to Tisch last minute,” Flihan said during her visit. “I used my plays from the Drama Club here at BHS as my portfolio in my application.”

Flihan also spoke with students about her experiences working at the Tribeca Film Festival, reviewing off-Broadway shows, stage-managing and writing. Her work as a member of the Drama Club was just one way she was involved with the arts in Briarcliff.
