"Tell us about your passion for the theater, how you came to the theater, your training, and why CCM is the program for you...."
I sit
consumed in silence listening intently in the dark corner that resembles a
closet. I stare thirty feet below at the ghost like moving figures. I watch the
stage waiting to call the next cue and see the magic of the theater
unfold. With each cue called, light
hung, and line said and alternate reality is created and it is one of passion,
romance, and surprises. The theater is powerful in its raw reactions from the
audience fuelling the creation of a beautiful piece of art, night after night. All
around the world, for centuries, the theater has had audiences, techies, and
actors filled with a new kind of light, inspiring the innovative world that is
the theater
.
In 2007 I was accepted into
Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts. I entered
as a drama acting major in hopes to expand my abilities as an actress. During
my freshman year my teacher preached the concept of being a well-rounded
artist. Without experience in every aspect of the theater I cannot truly be the
artist I wished to be. With this in mind I took Set Construction, Stage
Management, Lighting Design, Sound Design, and all of my acting classes. This
exposure grew my passion for theater and I began to care less about if I was
acting on the stage and more about being part of a processes. I had to be part of the theater, no
matter what I was doing. During my sophomore summer I managed two shows outside
of school and decided that I had found my niche. Stage Management included
every part of theater that I had come to love. To this day my passion for stage
management in the theater continues to grow, as does my need for a challenge.
I hope to be challenged and pushed as an artist at CCM. I am looking for a program that is fast paced, challenging, and full of new problems to solve. I believe that CCM will give me just that. I am a very passionate and focused individual hoping to apply my time fully to the art I love so much. When I graduate I hope to be a working Stage Manager. I am very opened minded to Opera, Musical Theater, and drama, as all of them are equally as exciting! I’d like to be doing this full time until I retire. After being the stage management intern at the Dallas Theater Center I have been exposed and a part of a professional working theater and there is no place I’d rather be. I hope to spend all my days in a theater, and my only days off to be Mondays! CCM will give me the tools and experiences of all forms of theater and a rigorous program to keep me engaged! This will fully equip me to be a working professional in the wonderful world that is the theater. I am excited and looking forward to spending all my days learning to creating new magic for audiences!
