I did a lot of commercial and theater work when I got out of school and was living in Dallas, and I moved to Chicago to go through the Second City Conservatory Program.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I majored in theater in college. I did a couple of plays in high school, and I really enjoyed it, so I went to Illinois Wesleyan University and got a degree, and then I went back to Chicago and started doing theater in all the companies around the city for about 11 years before I moved out to L.A.
I did a lot of theater growing up, and in college I was in the musical 'Chicago.'
Then I went off to Southern Methodist University in Dallas. They had a really wonderful theatre department.
I started working in New York City as an actor and did many plays. I did regional theater, smaller theaters, children's theater.
I did a lot of theater in the South side of Chicago.
When I got out of college, I moved to Seattle because it was the nearest big city and still didn't know if I wanted to be a composer, conductor, singer, actor. I just got day jobs and auditioned and took what came, and the theater doors were the ones opening the most.
I started in theatre. I went to the Boston Conservatory and majored in musical theater.
After college, I went to Alley Theatre in Houston to work in their apprentice actor program. I thought I was gonna get discovered. It didn't happen. I moved back to Germantown, Tennessee, outside of Memphis, and taught at my old high school.
I worked at the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco, lived there for three years, and lived in Baltimore for 12 years.
When I first moved to New York, all I did was musical theater. That's what I studied at Carnegie Mellon University.
