My Passion For Musical Theatre

I realized my passion for performing at a young age, but it wasn’t until high school when I realized I wanted to pursue it in the future. I knew by the time I was doing two to three shows a semester, that I wanted nothing more, than to pursue a career in the performing arts. I wasn’t always fully invested in musical theatre.

I didn’t realize until 8th grade that I wanted to commit my time to musical theatre, rather than sports. I quit swimming and playing water polo so that I could do theatre in 8th grade.

The rigorous course load is a perfect balance of acting, singing, dancing and music theory so that I can strengthen all of the skills required for a performing career.

I love the fact that Montclair is very performance heavy. Not only would I love to participate in the main stage productions, but also in the operas, dance shows, and recitals. The opportunities to learn from the faculty, students, and guest artists is astonishing. I have butterflies thinking about how exciting Montclair sounds. I believe that Montclair will nourish me and prepare me for a professional theatre industry, which is exacting what I am looking
