What is your cast role or crew position in Disney’s NEWSIES? I am a dancer.

What is your favorite Disney’s NEWSIES quote, song or scene — and why? “Keep your eyes on the stars, and your feet on the ground. You can do this.” It’s very encouraging.

How many Gibson Southern Theatre productions (including Disney’s NEWSIES) have you been a part of while in high school? This is my first musical, but I was in the last three years of vaudeville.

What is your favorite role, act, or show that you have been a part of in high school? Being a dancer in Newsies is honestly my favorite role because I got to work with so many talented people who always wanted to help, and be there for each other.

What words of advice do you have for those thinking about joining Gibson Southern Theatre? Do it, I know it’s scary but everyone is supportive, and loving. We all just want to watch you succeed.

Do you have anything else to add? Theatre gave me a place to belong and be myself without fear of judgement, and that’s a true family.
