I just wanted to say thank you! I came on here as a newbie over a year ago and everyone was so welcoming and answering all my questions!!! Kat, you answered EVERY question I had, I started theatre in 6th grade but lacked confidence and either wasn't making shows or couldn't even land a line. Now, I'm a sophomore and I'm Alma Hix in the Music Man and "stranger" in our OAP UIL show the dead man's cellphone with a 5f/2m cast, while taking 2 theatre classes, singing infront of people and taking vocal and dance lessons, and become a 2 year veteran on our comedy sportz team :))) Thank you for the videos with tips and ideas and all the love and support to get a step closer to my dream job.

Also, when I met Josh Grisetti, he did this funny thing where he put his hand on my head for the picture we took (I’m tiny so that’s why he did that lol)

OK I MUST TELL YOU THIS so my mom went to college with Brian D'arcy James (Nick Bottom in the original broadway broadway cast) and they did many theater things together and have stayed friends since and we took a trip to New York two years ago and we were lucky enough to see SR and it was AMAZING. And after the show we got to go backstage and to Brian's dressing room and get autographs and I got to MEET HIM and my mom got to catch up and it was amazing and he's so nice and talented and hilarious.
