The Dining Room


Over the past 6 years, I have been heavily involved in theatre while in school. For two years, I competed in the Ohio High School Speech league in Forensics. After moving to Raleigh, North Carolina, I found that the schools in my area did not offer Forensics and I started auditioning for plays. I landed leads in many productions such as The Miser (Moliere), and Don't Drink the Water (Woody Allen). After graduating and finishing my last production in Raleigh, I figured that I would slowly walk away from the stage hopefully to return years later with a degree in broadcast journalism or possibly public relations. After just finishing my first semester at UNCP, I was contacted by and old high school friend that graduated a couple years before me, wondering why I had not auditioned for any plays at school. After hearing the details of the next audition being held by the theatre department I auditioning for a play called The Dining Room. I landed a part in the cast of 5 actors and 5 actresses which shows on February 21-23. I am very excited to be back in theatre after realizing that I missed not being on stage for a semester.
