Christine Houston went back to school at 42 years old to prove a point to her three sons. She wanted to teach them by doing, to show them that she could be a housewife and a mother, work an eight-hour job and go to school and get all A’s. She decided to enroll at Kennedy-King College because she heard the college had a great reputation for its theatre program. Houston had dreams of becoming an actress and upon enrolling in Kennedy-King, she tried out for the first play of the season and landed the lead role.
