SPOTLIGHT
I showed up at previews with the intention of being involved with either the music or theater department. I talked to Mac Groves, who ended up being my advisor, about the classes I could take, and I sort of just dove in. I don’t know why I never had any hesitance about what I was going to do. I wasn’t into taking classes that had nothing to do with what I was going to spend my life doing. Fortunately, my first year, the music and theater departments were collaborating on a musical, which didn’t happen very often and I don’t know if it has happened since. I was the only freshman male cast in the musical and it gave me encouragement early on. I never looked back.
