HEY
I'm Josh
I virtually graduated into a global pandemic in the spring of 2020 from Michigan State University with a BA in Theatre, an additional major in Economics, a minor in Musical Theatre, and a Business cognate. WHEW! My theatre journey began with performing in musicals, which then introduced me to all the other aspects of theatre and caused my love for the art to grow even more.
​
When I first arrived at Michigan State, I studied mechanical engineering for two and a half years (???) while minoring in musical theatre. A guest in my musical theatre duets class my junior year told us, "find what lights you up and do it," and within the week I had changed my major.
​
After finding my passion for stage management at Michigan State, I took my skills down to Orlando, Florida where I began stage managing with Central Florida Community Arts. Working on productions as a stage manager has played to a lot of my strengths such as organization, time management, and communication. These experiences allowed me to realize that this is something I fully envision myself passionately doing as a career.
