Here are the basics: I was born in Illinois, grew up in Richmond, VA, and attended the University of Richmond. I started doing drama in high school, tried to quit a few times, but it kept sucking me back into the vortex. So, I’ve given up trying to fight it! My theatrical experience ranges from my beginnings in high school, to indigenous drama in East Africa, to university theatre, and an amazing internship at Williamstown Theatre Festival.
I love the theatre scene in Charlottesville, and am constantly amazed at how many varying opportunities exist here in Mr. Jefferson’s town. My favorite part of theatre is the historical background of plays, playwrights, the eras in which the plays were written, and the eras in which the plays are set to take place. Playwrights are more like poets than novelists, so every word and every name ends up taking significance in the structural composition of a play.
My nickname was given to me in college and somehow gravitated into the Charlottesville theatre scene, as well. For me, it will always be tied to my theatrical experiences, and that’s why it’s displayed when I post.
I think that’s everything most relevant to introducing me … thanks for reading my posts!
