Why did you audition? I was prompted to audition for the Life and Adventures of Santa Claus by all my Encore friends. As soon as the last play ended I knew I wanted to audition for this play because I already missed my friends and the lively feeling of being on stage.

What have you learned? The biggest thing I've learned from Encore is when you audition you shouldn't have your heart set on one main role, even if you receive a "little role" you should take that role and make it yours. You probably will be a surprise and end up stealing the show!
