Abstract
This thesis explores the process of joy, trust, and discovery I have cultivated as a professional actor and its application in various productions. I will examine my role as Sabine in Ken Ludwig’s The Three Musketeers at TheatreSquared in Fall of 2025, as well as the role of Alice in my One Person Show, titled Curiouser, developed in Spring of 2024. Included in this document is my artistic statement, my one-person show script, production posters and programs, production photos, website link, headshot and resume, my character analysis of Sabine, One-Person Show class writing prompts, and proof of permission for use of media.
