My Nonprofit Reviews

I've been acting with Traveling Players for the past 6 years, and it's been absolutely stunning. Jeanne (the producing artistic director) and the kids have revolutionized the way I think of myself as an actor and an individual. During the school year, I think about my actions in terms of how they shape who I want to be for camp next summer.
I started out in Moliere's "Learned Ladies" back in 6th grade and I've kept friends from that show that are closer than my school friends are today. Since then, I've done middle school ensemble three times, high school ensemble once, and traveling troupe twice. I love the combination of the outdoors and theatre. It's remarkably freeing to act in an outdoor space and practice there, embracing the dirt as we do yoga warmups. Then going on tour, especially with Traveling Troupe, which tours in a giant purple bus for two weeks, you get SO close to your fellow-actors and hone your craft (as you get to try new things in the many different venues and performances). Now, I have enough starry nights and inside jokes to last a lifetime.
