Our Country’s Good at Theatre UCF
Janice received her MFA in Acting at the University of Central Florida. Her thesis paper was on “Emotional Availability: A Practice-as-Research Exploration on Acting in Film and Theatre.”
Janice received a B.A. in Theatre Performance from Brigham Young University–Idaho, where she was a 3-year member of the improv comedy troupe Comic Frenzy. She was the first theatre student to produce her own senior recital, which paved the way for future theatre students to do the same.
“Janice Munk was great as the narrator. She kept the show feeling like a fairy tale and flowing through the next scene. She was also fun to see in movement, always with a spring to her step and a leap or two.”

She is the youngest of 8 children, and aunt to 24 nieces and nephews. Janice believes in using the benefit of the doubt, paying it forward, and that brown can go with black.
