WHAT ARE THE WORST HABITS AN ACTOR/ACTRESS CAN DEVELOP? Forgetting to have fun. Settling.
HOW DO WE GET A ROLE WITH NICK SUGAR? Audition and keep auditioning. Everyone is not right for every show and when people audition and come to call backs I am also thinking about casting shows in the season ahead. Keep studying and strive to be a better artist. Do something every day that is feeding your art and spirit!
WHO/WHAT IS YOUR GREATEST INSPIRATION? I draw inspiration from the world around me and the art and talent from the people who influence me in a positive way.

WHY SEE ANYTHING GOES? The music alone is worth coming to see Anything Goes! It is a fantastic score by Cole Porter. Plus it is filled with great comedy and the cast is full of talented artists! You will not be able to resist tapping along and cheering our live band!
