| Program Description | Shawn Storms grew up in and around the theater. She attended and graduated from the high school for the performing arts and recently finished her final semester of theater arts at Wright State University. Her credits include acting, singing, dancing, choreography, and some directing on a local and regional level. Since graduation, Shawn plans to continue her studies in graduate school and study directing. Her ultimate goal is to own a theater company. Shawn is not too much different in age from the current middle and high school students but knows well how difficult it is to find parts and pursue dreams of performing on Broadway. She will be candid but encouraging with the students because she realizes how important it is to be honest and realistic with aspiring actors. Students from participating schools will have the opportunity to ask questions and discuss issues with this professional actress. | |||||||||||||||
