“I chose MoCo because it’s a family here, it’s very close knit, and I really got a sense that I was learning something valuable. When I first started at C.A.K.E. camp in 2001 I wasn’t really a people-person, I didn’t want to perform in front of people, I didn’t want to talk in front of people, and then throughout the summer I came out of my shell, it helped shape who I was.
MoCo is a way to connect the larger Monadnock Community, it’s an awesome place to be. I’m so excited by how much is offered now and the depth of the classes. If I were a kid here now, I would be going crazy because I would want to take every class.
No matter what role, small or large, you have in a show, you’re going to learn a lot. You might not think that theatre is what you want to do in life, but it will give you a certain skill set in terms of presenting yourself in front of groups of people.
Today, I speak in front of people often, I wouldn’t have been able to do that otherwise. I stage managed once for a show here and I learned a lot about how to manage responsibility, and how to work with students. I learned how to handle those situations when I was at MoCo. I wouldn’t be in the professional position I am now if I didn’t learn it at MoCo.”
