Christian Burnett (Sir Hugh) started doing theater this year. Though he has wanted to do it for a long time, he was scared of the burden of memorizing lines and the fear of embarrassment on stage. But during senior year, he decided to take the leap. When Christian is not doing theater or working in the auditorium for tech work, you can find him in Hunt Lobby doing FTC robotics or in the kitchen making some random new thing with his two roommates. Huge thanks to his mother and father, Lori and Roland Burnett, who supported any choice he made, as well as the rest of the actors for their welcoming attitude and support!
