Describe your experience with Summer Stock NYC:
Summer Stock NYC was a really fun, educational experience. It was the first time I had ever been in a revue type show, with such phenomenal leading ladies. It was great to have to learn so quickly and then perform right away.
What did you learn from working in a professional theatre setting?
I'd worked in professional settings before, but never with such established talents as the leads. It was incredible to watch these women at work, see what was expected from them, and watch them deliver.
What was the most successful aspect or element of your experience?
The most successful element was performing 7 shows and learning how to keep things fresh and solid.
Are there any other comments you can share to provide insight for future participants in Summer Stock NYC?
Learn the material solidly and quickly, so that you can start having fun within the parameters with which you are provided.
