Theatre is everything to me. Absolutely everything. Without it, I don't know how I would function. Frankly, theatre is one of the most important things in my life, and it has taught me so many valuable lessons.

1. Be bold.

If you're going to do something, you might as well do it right, and do it bright.

2. Be fearless.

You are strong and powerful and no one wants to see you fail.

3. It's okay to mess up.

It happens to everyone. So long as you sell it, no one will even notice.

4. The show must go on.

Doesn't matter what is going on around you. Hold your head high, be proud, and keep going.

5. Magic exists.

Anything is possible with a little bit of faith, trust, and pixie dust.

6. Appreciate those around you.

Tech works so hard and gets none of the credit. A simple thank you can make someone's day.

7. Fiction can transport you.

A valuable tool to navigate life.

8. Family is forever.

The bonds you forge will never be broken.

9. Be proud.

10. Stay humble.

This goes without saying.
