Mugrage,known as the"Old Man" at EOU, at age 36, has been acceptedinto athree-year master of fine arts program in acting at WVU. There, he'll be studying, among other subjects, theater, TV, film and voiceover work. He interviewedwith 10 collegesbefore deciding on WVU. "Morgantown has a smalltown feel, and I wanted that. The town has only 30,000 people, but the population swells with the influx of 30,000 students during the school year," he said."I really wanted to be on the East Coast without being in a city. And Morgantown is close to a lot of

He's lived in La Grande for nearly a quarter century since moving herefrom California atage 13, and his wife is a La Grande native. eWe havea lotofrootshere," he said.'When we do come back, the homecoming will be all the sweeter." Among his best memories ofhis performing years locally is playing Valjean in"Les Miserables." "It's probably my theater highlight," he said."I really empathize with the character, who goes trom the bottom up. I was a high school dropout, and now, all these years
later, going for an MFA is a big deal. I was lost and got built back up again. I'm doing something powerful with my life." A video will open the April 1 show recognizing the people who have helped his family over the years. "The relationships we have built here have been amazing," he said.

We have been given cars. Families have given us checks when we were struggling. There's a real sense of community, and people have invested in us." At the same time, Mugrage said he is excited to have graduated and to be moving on with his life. "It's awesome what can happen when you really work at something," he said."I tell the kids that having a vision is important. And even when you do accomplish something big, life is not over.
