I was involved in the Theater Dept. quite a bit. I was the Financial Director of The
Contemporary Theatre for a couple of years. I stage managed all kinds of productions and had the chance to direct one play and act in a couple. I’m sure I went to
class as well! And of course I spent too much time waiting tables at Papa-Razzi.
