Undergrad Play Performance

The play was called “La Tête en Friche” and was adapted from a French movie with the same name. I played the role of Germain Chazes. The whole play was done in French and it was very challenging for me back then as I was only beginning to tap into the French language. But at the end the performance went great. We received positive reviews from the school and being one of the two leads of the play it solidified my passion for acting and gave me the push I needed to further pursuit my acting career.
