HERE I AM

Hi, people of the future! As you know if you read the blog description, I will be spending this year applying to/auditioning for some musical theatre college programs. Before I start to talk about what has happened so far and is going to happen soon, here is a little bit about me.
(I assume you know a bit about musical theatre if you're reading this. If you don't...Google? I wouldn't know where to begin!)
SO. My name is Abigail Morris and I am a senior in high school from Vermont.  My family is ridiculously musical so I have grown up around the arts. I could sing A before I could talk. I have been doing legit theatre since I was about 7, but before that I just made up my own! (I had LOTS of talented beanie babies.) I've only done local shows, but last summer I went to Circle in the Square Theatre School's summer intensive. I am an actor first, then singer and dancer. I think acting should always come first (more on this later for sure), and I've always been in singing and dance lessons /for/ musical theatre. If you were wondering I'm probably a soprano belter (???? labels) (it's complicated) and a character actor of some kind. I'm not a great dancer and I definitely don't look like one but I have a little training and can pick up choreography.
Nontheatre things (isn't everything a theatre thing though?): I work at a local pizza place (goodtimescafevt.com everyone), I went on a service trip to Africa, and I am a downhill skier. When I see those things on paper I am always a little surprised that they are not theatre related...but like I said, everything is. Theatre is about people. Art is about the world. I am a person. I live in the world. There you go.
I may or may not decide to make fun MT themed post titles so I picked an ambiguous one for this first post. It's a little bit introduction, a little bit Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.
