"I was always a ham, the goofball, the candy-crazed kid growing up.
Then I hit middle school, and that was TOUGH (we've all got our
stories). So by the time I made it to high school, I was still that
goofball/candy freak, but only to a select few. Otherwise I was that shy
kid in the corner. That's where theatre came in. I found I had a knack
for set design and an eye for stage pictures (directing). It was my high
school technical director who gave me my first chance to push my
comfort zone, to try something new within a safe space. He handed me a
list one day and said 'I think you can organize getting all this done.'
The faith he had in me encouraged me to excel. I was teaching others the
ropes of the shop in no time.
"So I guess that's what theatre has often done for me, and what I believe it does/can do for others, show us what we're really capable of and encourage us to embrace and utilize it — a sense of agency."
