After high school, I went to the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point for a year, and I studied musical theatre. By that point, I was like, ‘This is what I want to do.’ Picture Quote #1

There’s a whole generation growing up thinking you shouldn’t seek knowledge for its own sake, and that theatre and art and books are activities that you do after-hours, rather than things that are at the heart of life. That’s a huge change Picture Quote #1

After college, I went to Alley Theatre in Houston to work in their apprentice actor program. I thought I was gonna get discovered. It didn’t happen. I moved back to Germantown, Tennessee, outside of Memphis, and taught at my old high school Picture Quote #1
