I am a senior at Canyon High School. I am planning to apply to Yale University as theater major.
I am wondering how I can get a copy of Professor Cho's work.
Can I watch any work on Youtube or any online library?
Please respond at your earliest convenience.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Michelle Moon
