What first sparked your love of theatre or performing arts?
Seeing The Nutcracker at the San Francisco Ballet when I was 5. We were in the absolute nosebleeds and could barely see the stage, but that magic Christmas tree changed my life. I also distinctly remember watching a terrible stage version of The Giver in fourth grade, and leaving the venue going "I could make something better than that, who do I talk to about that projection design!?"
