Student Blogger: Charlie Perkins

Hi there! My name is Charlie Perkins (they/them), and I am a  theatre student at Long Island University Post Campus. I was born and raised in Santa Cruz, California, but I am a city person at heart. My favorite musicals are "Alice by Heart," "Moulin Rouge," and "Wicked," and my favorite plays are "The Pillowman" by Martin McDonagh and "The Revolutionists" by Lauren Gunderson. Outside of theatre, I enjoy writing poetry and doing nail art.
