Allie Trimm did an interview with Stanford's publication, Pulse. She talks about her decision to  leave the school after 4 semesters and move back to NYC! Very interesting read. Also ff anyone was wondering what happened to her in Allegiance-

F: WHAT HAS BEEN A CHALLENGE FOR YOU THUS FAR?

T: When I was fourteen, there was an audition notice in New York with the breakdown description: “looking for a voice in the style of Allie Trimm.” I went in for the audition and they booked me on the spot, and I did readings of the show Allegiance on and off for six years. As I grew up, the character did as well. (Shows go through huge changes in the developmental stages before opening on Broadway). When it was announced that the show was going to Broadway, I was brought in for the final round of callbacks but was ultimately too young for the current version of the role. This was an instance where I started facing some serious doubts about whether or not I have thick enough skin for this industry.

She has one of my favorite voices to date! Good luck to her!

F: WHAT WAS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU LEARNED FROM THIS DIFFICULT EXPERIENCE?

T: My experience with Allegiance made me realize that if I was going to make this work, I couldn’t just expect to pick up where I left off as a child actor. I have to do my own work, and I can’t expect other people to bring work to me. It’s like failing a midterm at Stanford—sometimes you need that bad news to wake you up. I’m learning to separate myself from the chaos of this industry and remember that I am here to create things. Despite the challenges, I know that if I weren’t doing this, I would feel that something in my life was missing.
