What was your first show, what role did you play, and how old were you?

I was in "Annie" when I was eight. I played Miss Hannigan! (I think was also the youngest kid in the show, and definitely the shortest, so that worked out... interestingly.)

It was "Oliver" and I think I was 3 or 4. My sister was in it and I hung around rehearsals and pretty much learned the words to all the songs, so they made me one of fagins boys. I got to be the top half of the dear old gent.

Practically, my first show was a small production of Peter Pan in 5th Grade. I was Nana (the dog) and a Lost Boy and a Pirate.

But I sorta always think of Howie Newsome in Our Town as my first role.
