Oregon Children’s Theatre

I attended Missouri Southern State University and received my BA in Theatre in 2004. I moved to Chicago in 2007 where I met my husband. We wrote music together and performed around Chicago for several years before relocating to Charlotte, NC and then Portland, OR.

I lived in the theatre in high school. I was the only person in my class who was involved in the theatre department all 4 years of high school. My favorite memories were when the theatre kids went to SIUE during the spring to attend a theatre conference. I loved meeting all these other theatre kids from all around the St. Louis Metro area. We were a small group at Normandy, so visiting the conference was like opening a whole new world I didn’t even know existed. I still remember some of the improv games and showtimes we learned. It was an incredible experience.
