“ There’s always a struggle with boys wanting to pursue performing arts. Most people think dance is for girls and it’s feminine, but it’s really not. Dancing is just a way of expressing yourself. When other people tease and bully you or say what you’re doing is stupid or isn’t normal, you have to realize that what they’re saying isn’t important. If this is what you’re going to do, don’t let anybody stop you. ”

just saw billy elliot at the pantages two weeks ago. it was fantastically wonderful.

“ That’s the scary thing about theatre—it doesn’t live on. But that’s actually the most beautiful thing about it, too. That’s why it’s more beautiful than film and certainly more beautiful than television, because it’s like life. Real life. Any picture that you take or any video that you make of yourself is not really you, it’s only an image that represents the experience you had. In theater, the process of it is the experience. Everyone goes through the process, and everyone has the experience together. It doesn’t last—only in people’s memories and in their hearts. That’s the beauty and sadness of it. But that’s life—beauty and the sadness. And that is why theatre is life. ”

you spend so much time with the crew that you become family.  stage managers are the moms, run crew is obviously the children.
