Armando Urdiales (He/Him/His)”: A second year MS in Theatre Studies at the University of Houston, I have been obsessed with theater since I was a kid. My mothers lullabies were from Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals and “Everything All Right” has been my go to sleep song since birth. One of my passions is exploring new theatre, and experience as much of it as I can. If I had to pick a favorite show it tends to vary by mood, however my top three interchange constantly. They are Spring Awakening (both play and musical), Hadestown, Quixote Nuevo.

Miranda has been a performing arts fanatic for as long as she can remember! Born and raised in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, she started performing with her local civic theater at the age of 8, and she has pursued her passion for the performing arts ever since. Miranda additionally adores teaching as much as she enjoys performing, and she has been teaching music lessons, dance classes, and theatre programs for years. In the spring of 2020, she graduated with Bachelor of Arts degrees in both Musical Theatre and Theatre Performance from North Central College in Naperville, IL. Miranda is now pursuing an M.A. in Theatre Studies at the University of Houston in order to teach at the collegiate level, and she has had so much joy getting to know the theatre scene in Houston! When she is not in a classroom or on a stage, she enjoys running or watching her favorite TV shows of all time: "Friends", "New Girl", and "Seinfeld”.
