O'Connor,+Erin,+Introduction

Hello everybody. My name is Erin O'Connor and I'm a sophomore. I'm majoring in Theatre with a hopeful emphasis in Performance. I am also minoring in Musical Theatre and English Education. I really want to pursue an acting career before I teach High School Theatre and English. I studied acting at the Sanford Meisner Center in Northern Hollywood this past summer. I also had the opportunity to work at a musical theatre camp for children ages 6 to 16. I love sharing my passion for theatre with others and I hope I can spread the theatre love through teaching. :)

I live in Irvine, California which is in Southern California. I originally decided to attend SOU because I was offered a spot on the soccer team. However. I had to turn it down after my second knee surgery. This past summer I had my third knee surgery and I am now working hard to completely recover. In high school, I played soccer as well as acted in plenty of school plays. Two of my favorite roles were Julia Blake in //Whispers of War// and Gertrude McFuzz in //Seussical the Musical//. I have a mini long-haired dachshund named Mayzie Lou whom I love very much. She lives back at home with my mom. The picture below is a picture of my boyfriend, Lance, and me on our way to The Melting Pot for our year anniversary.
