I remember when my dad first got me to watch this movie. It was “family movie night” (which I thought was lame, being around 10 years old). I thought a movie titled “Oliver” would be SUPER lame and it looked old and boring. But then the first song played. And the orphan boys walked down the stairs singing “food, glorious food” and I was hooked. 

Lin Manuel Miranda

Another show that absolutely blew me away was Man of La Mancha, performed by Cuesta College. The entire show was set inside of a cage and the way they used the cage in every single scene was absolutely riveting. I’ll never think of Man of La Mancha without thinking of this production. 

I saw this show at KCACTF 2018 in Mesa, Arizona. It BLEW ME AWAY. The show was called Jumpers and it was a devised piece about people that jump from the Golden Gate Bridge. It was incredibly well done and so moving. It made me fall in love with Devised theatre.

I walked to this song at my high school graduation
