Papa Bear
“I’m playing Papa Bear which is fitting because that’s the role I take in real life . . . lol … always looking out for others. It’s a natural casting choice.”
How I spend my days: Store manager for Lush Fresh Handmade Cosmetics in Edina.
My most enjoyable past theater role: I loved playing Horton in Seussical and the Cowardly Lion in Wizard of Oz.
One word to describe myself: Funny.
A surprising thing about me: I don’t know how to ride a bike. My dad tried teaching me on my sister’s purple glitter seat 10-speed. I fell, and that was the end of that.
What I do for fun: I sing with One Voice Mixed Chorus, and I’m pretty proud of the music we create.
Volunteer activities: My church – I’ve sung at different masses and helped with fundraisers and the Christmas program.
