My Second Home!


As a child I never thought I was good at anything. I wasn't very good at sports, I was an average (B) student in class, but when I stepped on stage or had the opportunity to entertain people, I was in my element. I knew that I enjoyed performing and telling stories. I loved it before I even knew what it (acting) was or that I could even pursue it as a career! I love being in the theatre; there are times when I just walk into a theater and just chill out. I'm going to sound a little cheesy when I say this but I literally feel something in the air when I’m in a theatre. I feel charged, if I'm having a bad day, spending time in the theatre helps. There were times during the rehearsals and run of Topdog/Underdog that I would just walk into the theatre alone and go over or study lines. Some people that I have worked with think I'm crazy... a lot of the time when cast and crew leave, I'm not in a hurry to leave the theatre because I feel at home. I thank God that not only do I feel comfortable and at home in the theatre but I have something to offer as an actor as well.
