Favorite quote:
“I learned this, at least, by my experiment; that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. . . . If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them! ” – Henry David Thoreau

If you could have one superpower, what would it be?

Mr. & Mrs. Brown: they single-handedly created and built a theatre program in my hometown where there had never been one before, it is because of them that I got my start in theatre.
