The Thanksgiving Play(Fall 2024) For The Thanksgiving Play, I put myself in the opened-toed shoes of Jaxton Smithton and took it upon myself to embody the most infuriating white knight known to man In preparation to stage the show we took weeks to work dramaturgically with the text Director Zeina Salame set the show in the round, demanding an incredible level of theatrical fidelity from me and my three co-stars. I am so much better off as an actor and performer because of it. Zeina Salame allowed actors to have a voice in the direction of the show, resulting in the majority of Jaxton's actions being ones of my own devising.
