Drama, Drama, Drama!!! How did I happen to become an entertainer?

Yes, I do remember that I was in a Thanksgiving Pilgrim show in elementary school. I enjoyed wearing the costume – it felt fun to be someone else! That led me to understand what a “play” is. I played the role of Helen Keller during my freshman year of high school; I fell in love with drama. If you are wondering how many years I have been in drama, do your math! Four years in high school and seven years in college. Have you ever wondered if I will stop performing? I have been in shows for over 25 years. It sounds like half of my life has seen me involved in drama. I have enjoyed constantly telling stories!
