There are so many people who have influenced me and all in very different ways. However, there is one person in particular who has influenced me greater than anyone else in the theatre. Bronwynn Hopton…my high school theatre director.
The amount of dedication and work that she puts into our theatre department is remarkable. We have been worried for years that she will retire, and then we remember that if she retires she will have nothing to do with her life. She works for her students and she works because she loves it. She stays up with us rehearsing late at night, she falls asleep in the theatre, she eats her dinner on the go every night.
Her commitment to her art is the kind of commitment that I want to have towards my art. Having the kind of dedication that she has ensures success. I will take what she taught me in high school through all my adventures in the theatre world. She was the start of everything and I will never forgot working with her. She was an amazing and insane woman.
