Stories That Inspire Me: The Movies, TV Shows, Plays, and Musicals That Remind Me Why I Do Theatre

One of the best parts of being in the arts is constantly finding new stories that remind me why I fell in love with storytelling in the first place. I’ve always believed that theatre — and art in general — is about empathy. It’s about understanding people who are different from us and finding pieces of ourselves in their stories. Whether it’s on stage, on screen, or somewhere in between, the right story can make you want to create something just as powerful. So, I wanted to s

I honestly don’t

My Journey To Theatre

As my first blog post, I thought the best way to start would be to introduce myself and explain why I’m writing this in the first place. I LOVE THEATRE! It is my passion and my first love. From acting to directing to spotlight operating to devising. There is not an area of theatre I haven’t fallen in love with (except marketing…). I feel so blessed to be working in the Arts and can’t imagine doing anything else with my life. That being said, I didn’t always love it. My introd
