Biography
“Through my involvement in Anathan shows I have been able to work with a variety of talented people. With each show I have learned more about theatre, myself, and my faith. As I near the end of my senior year, I hope to carry along with me all that I have learned, go make the most of my experiences, and go make all of my mentors proud.”

The Elephant Man
The play explores Christian themes as it examines a society based on outward appearance and social status rather than the worth of each individual soul. Ultimately, it reinforces the core of Catholic social teaching, which is to respect the dignity of each human life regardless of appearance.
Twelfth Night
