AGE: 18
SCHOOL YEAR: Senior
COLLEGE: American University
MAJOR: Musical theater and psychology
INVOLVEMENT IN MHS ARTS: I have been involved with the arts since freshman year. I started with choir and began my theater career at the high school with our production of “Bye Bye Birdie.” Over the course of my time at MHS, I have participated in nine different pieces of theater. I joined Luminescence (an a cappella group) my sophomore year, and I am now acting as the music director. I also run the social media for Marblehead Drama.
FAVORITE MEMORY: My favorite memory from performing at MHS was my first ever Drama Festival with the high school. Our production that year was “Beowulf.” I loved the buzz of excitement of all the students participating and watching all the incredible pieces of theater the other schools put on. When we found out that we moved on to semi-finals, the eruption of screams and hugs and tears made me want to participate in the festival for the rest of my career.
PLANS AFTER HIGH SCHOOL: I will continue my performing career at American University, where I will be double majoring in musical theater and psychology.
FAVORITE THING ABOUT PERFORMING: My favorite thing about performing is spending time with my favorite people. From a cappella to choir to theater, I have made my best friends through creating art together.
SHOUT-OUT: I’d like to thank my parents, my brother, Max, and Ms. Ashley Skeffington and Mr. Andrew Scoglio!
