Hey friends! My name is Grace Schofield, and thanks for visiting my website!
A little bit more about me, I'm currently based in Central Illinois and Cape Girardeau, MO. I'm working towards my BFA in Musical Theatre at the Jeanine Larson Dobbins Conservatory of Theatre and Dance at Southeast Missouri State University with a minor in Film and Literature. I've spent time onstage, directing, writing, and being more on the tech side of things as well.
My passion really lies in New Work. I love getting the opportunity to bring new stories to life and watching them transform through the process. Whether it be on stage or behind the table, I love telling new stories. I'm also a student blogger for BroadwayWorld.com, so for more information about my journey, check out my student pieces!
When I'm home, I love getting the opportunity to serve on my church's worship team and as a counselor at Green Pastures Christian Retreat Center. In my free time, I love reading, writing, and spending time with loved ones. I also really love gnomes and am always a lil silly.
