I am psyched that I now have a BFA in Theatre Performance! I really got to enhance and strengthen my craft at TheatreVCU--an incredible program to really be proud of. Highlights along my journey include (but defiantly aren't limited to) Josh Chenard's Chekhov teachings and life lessons, Janet Rogers inspiring Archetypes class, Dr. T's transformative Actors Studio, Paul Valleys joy for language and human behavior studies, Patti D'Becks musical theatre magic, Lorri/Barry's mentorship, the list can go on! Our grad students were also wonderful. I give TheatreVCU:
The journey is the most exciting part of life as an artist, and my journey is just beginning. Hats off to my talented friends and graduates! Thank you to my beautiful parents for getting me here. Cheers to my friends and amazing support group. I am living the American Dream!
Congratulations to the VCU Class of 2011! We did it!
