I started doing theatre when I was 10-years-old, and now, 11 years later, my theatre resume is considerably longer than my normal resume. From my first role as a squirrel, to my most recent role in "Godspell," I have seen, done, and sung it all. I spent more hours in the theatre then I spent out of it and it shaped me into the person I am today. From the countless hours of rehearsal, endless bottles of Aquanet, and always-disappearing bobby pins and hangers, I learned a lot under those bright lights, and here are just a few of those lessons.
