Performance & Design
On Stage…
My first introduction to the entire world of theatre was a children’s camp that put on a shortened production of Willy Wonka. From there, it’s safe to say that I was caught by the performance bug, and I followed that passion throughout high school and all the way into my undergraduate degree. Performing is a crucial part of my experience with theatre, and I am always open to the opportunities that may come my way.
As a performer, I offer a quick wit, comedic timing that kills, and all around tomfoolery on the stage. I love the rehearsal room, and I believe that trying things out, exploring, and having fun leads to the best performances you see. Additionally, I hold people’s time in high regard, always making sure to be punctual and effective in a rehearsal setting.
… and Off Stage!
My early involvement with technical theatre was largely through my dad, who became the technical director for many of the community theatre shows I did as a kid. I would spend time every summer helping him build the sets for whatever show we were preparing for. Once I arrived at WCU for college, I was able to get more experience with the technical world, working in the scene shop my freshman year. Additionally, I was given the opportunity to work on sound design, familiarizing myself with QLab and getting hands on experience running the sound board during productions.
Since graduating, I have been able to use these skills professionally to design both sound and projections at the Appalachian Center for the Arts for various shows, including Working: The Musical (Sound and Projections) and Sleep in Safety: The Death of Octavia Hatcher (Sound). I have also worked professionally doing live sound and foley work during the Appalachian Center for the Arts’ Miracle on 34th St. Radio Show.
