About

In my senior year of high school (2024-2025) I submitted an application to Spotlight Education (Through the Hennepin Arts) as a qualifier to the Technical Theater Career Pathway Experience. Going through a rigorous application process and interviews I was selected one of only six seniors in the state of Minnesota to work at the Historic State Theater for a week and a half to produce the Spotlight Showcase of 2025. Of the six of us two were selected for lighting, two were selected for stage management, and two were selected for sound. I was one of the two selected for sound. During my time working on the Spotlight Showcase I worked along side Broadway and Hennepin professionals learning and absorbing every bit of information that I could.

About the program: Hennepin Arts

"Graduating senior students with interest or experience in technical theater are invited to apply for the Technical Theater Career Pathway. Select students will be invited to an interview where a panel of theater professionals will determine six (6) Career Pathway Technicians who will be assigned to professional mentors and work on creating Spotlight Showcase and surrounding pre/post show events. The six (6) Career Pathway Technicians have the option to be considered for the Technical Theater New York Experience and a scholarship that may be used toward training that leads to a certificate or higher skill level after completing high school."

In my senior year of high school I was selected to receive my theater program's Legacy Robe for my hard work, commitment, and dedication over my 7 years with the program. That year I committed myself to mentoring the next generation of technicians and behind the scenes middle schoolers and high schoolers teaching them sound, lights, projections, set building and more.

"The Broadway Legacy Robe is a traditional, colorful robe passed down through the ensemble members of Broadway musicals. It is presented to the chorus member with the most Broadway credits on opening night to celebrate their dedication and bring good luck to the new show. The tradition was formerly known as the Gypsy Robe before Actors' Equity Association renamed it in 2018 to avoid insensitivity to the Roma community."
