I worked with a theater group in Jenner, the River Repertory Theatre. I don't think I can overstate how important it was to have the River Repertory. I have a clear memory of falling in love with the experience of performing for a live audience. That little company meant a lot to me.
He just did it. He enjoyed the community of the other actors a lot and the interplay with the crowd.
When we did a fifth-to-eighth-grade production of 'Little Shop of Horrors,' he wanted to play the dentist, which is not the nicest character, but he was fantastic. He stole the show.
Caren Johnson, who remembers him as a bright and promising student.
