What made you first interested
in theatre?
I became interested in theatre because as a child I hated sports. My
mom wanted me to get involved in something and after five years of sitting on
the bench she signed me up to audition for Alice
in Wonderland and I was hooked. After high school I thought I would be done
with theatre until I took an introductory theatre class my freshman year and
realized that I wouldn’t be able to leave it again.

What is exciting to you about
working on Neighborhood 3?
Neighborhood 3 is a play I
loved after the first time I read it. This is a play that will spark so many
conversations among its audience and that is what attracts me to theatre.
Where have you found inspiration
for your design?
I found a lot of my inspiration in listening to my gamer friends talk
about their passions. They were so enthusiastic in telling about the worlds and
characters in their games. It was eerie in a way because it made the characters
in Neighborhood 3 seem more accurate.
If you could design any show,
what would it be?
Ever since I read Michael Weller’s Moonchildren
I have wanted to work on that show. I would love to be involved in
recreating the atmosphere of a college student’s apartment during the Vietnam
War. The show has an excellent sense of humor that would be amazing to be
surrounded by.
If you were a fruit or vegetable,
what would you be?
Pineapple. I wouldn’t mind being in a tropical climate right now. Also
I think pineapples have the best hair out of all the fruits in the basket.
