What makes a good scene in your opinion?

Being able to draw patterns mentally and anticipate your partner’s reactions to situations on stage.

What's the most memorable moment you've had at Spitfire?

For my Level 2 Showcase I did a scene where my partner and I were kissing cousins on a farm... it was interesting, to say the least.

How would you explain Spitfire shows to someone who's never been?

Bring an extra pair of pants, because you will most likely need them.

How would you describe the Spitfire community in 5 words or less?

Welcoming, light-hearted, and passionate.
