Summary
For over 30 years, I have been involved with theatre in an array of capacities. I have acted, stage managed, run lights, and directed shows. I am particularly proud of my work at Queen Margaret's University College, in Edinburgh Scotland where I received excellent marks on my work. I waws also chosen to be the stage manager for an international tour of Billy Bishop Goes to War. The tour exposed me to normal, every day college students up to finding myself having dinner with Lord Morrison of the House of Commons. I hope, that I can inspire others and help enrichment their lives through theatre.
