My name is Holly Kissel, and I am dedicated to theatre. I saw my first professional performance at Actors Theatre when I was in the second grade. I was entirely enamored by the medium. There is nothing quite like experiencing stories live. As I have gone through high school I have become more passionate about telling stories and the theatrical arts, becoming Drama Club president, an Actors Theatre of Louisville Usher Captain, and the stage manager for Presentation's productions.
For my SIP Project, I will be writing and directing an original full-length play. Through this, I am hoping to gain a deeper understanding of the creative process, pre-production methods, and technical aspects of theatre. Because I plan on majoring in theatre and business in college, I believe these are skills that will give me the confidence and experience to succeed.
