As I have been reflecting on this past year and reeling about my exciting summer plans, I have realized just how much my first year of musical theatre training has prepared me for this job.
Growing up in the theatre community, it has always been important to me to have mentors to look up to that support and give constructive feedback - in fact, it has been vital to forming my love for this craft. And now as I begin my formal training in something that used to just be my hobby… having a guide to build my confidence has been invaluable.
