On today's episode we have Kyrra Gelinas! Kyrra was running down the theatre aisles at age 6 to see what the sound designer was doing while her sister was on stage. Her love of the arts and curiosity for all things has not stopped growing. Though she chose to go to Embry Riddle Aeronautical University with a dream to join NASA or Space X, she still calls theatre her home and family. She says they are connected to her; The theatre takes you away for a few hours, and space travel will physically take you away.
