Actor 2018-2020
I was an occasional actor in local theatre in Vermont. I moved to Vermont in the fall of 2018, and the first week there I auditioned for a role in the Plainfield Little Theater in Shakespeare’s Merchant of Venice. My lease was until the end of January, and the play was in February, so I extended my lease a month. After the performances, I auditioned and got a role in Macbeth, and extended my lease a few more months. And then Cherry Orchard. And I didn’t leave the state for six years.
I also acted in some small roles in high school, and in university at Bedlam Theatre, including during the Edinburgh Fringe, although in both places I did significantly more as part of the tech crew, particularly as an audio engineer, before I realized the extent of my congenital hearing loss.
