Something you should know about me!
I have worked with many professional actors and singers, adult and child alike, and I am really enjoying working with the students I have now, who are just regular kids who have not been exposed to theatre before, and are loving doing shows for the love of them, and are not in competition for parts. They are proud of each other. It is so refreshing.
