Favorite Play and Character
My favorite play to watch is Legally Blonde the Musical, and my favorite
character that I played was Audrey II from Little Shop of Horrors. I was the
puppeteer, not the voice, and took weight training for the class. Trust me,
lifting a 70 pound plant for 2 hours every day for a week was the highlight
of my life.

What is your project for the year?
I am writing a booklet on how to run the department. That’s from elections to tips on posters to scheduling to organization and communication-- anything that could be beneficial.
How did you get involved in drama?
In 6th grade my friend was trying out for NIghtmare Before Christmas. I pretty much said “screw it”, auditioned, got in, and was hooked.
Anything else?
I’m super excited for this year and for leaving a legacy behind. My main goal this year is really to leave leaders behind and to prepare my thespians for the world at large.. I’ve been doing drama since 6th grade, and it’s always been my passion and my life, and to see these people come every day and do what I love to do just makes me want to scream in joy. I don’t know what I would do without theatre in my life or the people I’ve met, and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. The department has and always will be my home.
When the aliens come to harvest brain stems, who will you save?
Myself. And my succulents.
