My name is Khylei Butler. I am a senior at Westwood High School. I've been in theater for 3 years. I've had less experience than my fellow cast members because my first two years of high school we didn't even have a theater program that performed anything. But I've worked my butt off to get to the place I am today. I've always been a bit afraid to fully express myself because I'm scared that I'll look like a fool. However, I've become more social over time. I used to be very shy and not like to talk to anyone. I never really started to open up until about 9th grade when I first got into theater. I have always had a love for the arts. I grew up watching musicals. I would learn all the different songs and dances until I got them perfect. I knew from a very young age that I loved acting. I would make up stories in my room and act every single character out. Recently I've been part of over 5 plays so far. Clue, Peter and the Star catcher, Every-man, Addams Family the Musical and Anatomies. It's been a hard uphill battle from the beginning to here but I'm very proud of my progress. Musicals are my favorite form of theater arts. It's my dream to be on Broadway and perform many different plays. My biggest dream role is to play Christine Daae in the Phantom of the Opera.
