Kierthan Lathrop

Kierthan Lathrop is a junior at CCHS. He has been involved in theater since elementary school, principally with Concord Youth Theatre. His favorite show was Stephen Schwartz’s Children of Eden because of the stirring music and its unique staging. An unconventional role for Kierthan was his portrayal of Philia in A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Forum. Aside from giving TEDx talks, Kierthan runs cross country and track. He also plays cello in chamber groups for various senior centers and churches in the local area. Last summer, Kierthan spent a month hiking and sleeping in the Wind River Wilderness without contact with civilization. Kierthan hopes that this talk will encourage others to become involved in and support local community theater and performance arts.
