Want to Become an Actor?
Have you ever wanted to learn Acting? Here is your chance!
I have been acting on stage for over 20 years, I started in elementary school when I was only in 3rd grade. I fell in love with getting to become someone else and tell a story for people to watch and enjoy. I loved it so much I actually got a degree in acting, a BFA in Acting from Northern Illinois University, I acted professionally in Chicago before deciding to pursue a career in radio which lead me to 97.9 KICK-FM and Quincy. I had no idea that Quincy was lucky enough to have an INCREDIBLE community theatre program led by an extremely talented staff. So I want everyone out there young and old to know that if you have ever wanted to try your hand at acting that there is a class for you to take at QCT!
