Turtle Memories:
How I got involved in Mock Turtle Soup: During Freshman Orientation, I got a flyer from MTS. I saved it on my bulletin board and waited for the audition date to come. Finally, I auditioned. It was the most exciting feeling to see my name on the list of new turtles.
Favorite game(s): Hesitation, Half Life, Mega Naiive, any audience
participation game
Least liked game(s): Drill Sergeant
Favorite thing to do to get ready for a show: Chug a Dr. Pepper and show me how to get down.
Most memorable improv moment: In a Mark Sutton workshop in Chicago, I played a wife cheating on Larry who wasn't sorry. The first moment I
felt like I was the character and stopped thinking.
Workshop/lesson that impacted me the most: Zach Ward has the idea of "If this, then what?" and since hearing it, I can't improvise without thinking about it. It helps flesh out your character and play the game harder - while only asking yourself one question.
