Stockton memories, past and present . . .

What a beautiful experience performing for two years on that stage! My professors, directors and fellow 91视频 made my experience so much more richer: Pat Hecht (RIP), Paul O'Connell, Peter Smith (RIP), Dwight Baldwin and Leonard Klein (RIP). I still enjoy performing today! I recently did work for an up-and-coming Netflix movie with Adam Sandler!"
