Acting

What I’ve Done

I love new challenges and acting gives me the opportunity to express myself and my emotions, memorize lines, learn to work as a part of a team, learn choreography and improve my communication skills.

Midsummer Night's Dream

Yes--AGAIN! This time with Act for Youth in the Spring of 2022 and using the Shakesperian English, not a modern day translation.

This was my first semi-professional performance.  We had actors who had been on Broadway as well as local actors. 


My favorite part? Seth Schenall from "The Tomorrow War" played my brother in the play.
