Kendra MacDevitt (Violinist) When Kendra MacDevitt was an undergrad at NAU, her 10-minute play "Dixie Cups" was nominated for a Kennedy Award. She did not win, but nonetheless moved to New York City to pursue a career in theater performance! Years later, she came to her senses and realized it was much more practical to be a free-lance violinist. She met Eve Blackwater and Jeannie Skelly while serving time in a local tavern and their mutual fascination with problematic literature, historical ultra violence, and 3 part harmony blossomed into a beautiful friendship.
