1. Describe what Paradoja Studios means to you.
- Paradoja has always been a place where I can be 100% myself. It's a place where I can branch out and grow as an artist. To put it simply, Paradoja means having the opportunity to be truly fearless on stage.
2. How long have you been a member of the Paradoja family?
- I've been involved in Paradoja almost since the beginning. I believe the first show I was in was Exodus Event.
3. What sets Paradoja Studios apart from other groups?
- Paradoja is an open and honest group that makes no apologies. Whether our material is filthy, over the top, or truly thought provoking (sometimes it's all three) it is authentic. Our goal is to put ourselves out there and we want the audience to have fun with it. And maybe even take their minds to new places.
4. What has it been like to see PS grow develop and change over the past few years?
- It's been a crazy ride, but I feel like with every show our group improves and our material evolves. I only hope it continues to grow in years to come.
5. What have you learned from Paradoja?
- I have learned to be confident in myself and in my abilities. Not just as an actor, but as a writer and director as well. I am so grateful to Paradoja for all the opportunities it's given me to grow.
6. What's the rehearsal process like?
- Paradoja rehearsals are a fun and in-depth process. Everyone really gets into their characters and bounces ideas off each other. It's a very open and creative environment to be in. And being surrounded by friends just makes it all the more awesome.
7. How did you get started with Paradoja?
- A few years ago, I was going through a very tough time. As a result of that, I had gone on "creative silence". I felt no desire to write, sing, act, or do any artwork at all. I had no inspiration and a dampened spark. But then I went to see Paradoja Grindhouse and laughed hysterically as a bunch of my friends put on this amazing show. After seeing all the hard work they'd done, I knew I wanted to be a part of Paradoja.
8. Are you a member of the cast or crew?
- I started off doing crew, but I eventually worked my way into the cast and eventually became a cowriter and director!
9. If you look back to when you first joined Paradoja, do you think Paradoja Studios turned in to what you thought it was going to?
- Yes, definitely. It’s exactly what I thought it would be, trying new things, exploring the world through different things.
12. What do you think of Mike Pagano? What have you learned from him personally and professionally?
- He’s a brother to me, so happy to have him in my life. He’s easy to work with and I always have a great time with him. Plus, he has dope taste in music.
