The first Journey show I ever watched was Descendants back in 2022…and we didn’t hit it off like you might’ve expected. The show was amazing and I was absolutely blown away by everyone in it, but I found myself jealous that all of those people had the confidence to pursue theater and I was still […]
When I was 8 years old my mom put me into a Journey kids camp, and I was honestly against it. For some reason I didn’t want to go, but it turned out to be such an amazing experience that I loved. After that I auditioned for my first show: Alice in Wonderland Jr. (2018), […]
When I was almost eleven, I auditioned for my 1st show: Lion King Jr.(2018), and suddenly, I was a 5’ 0” Mufasa with an unchanged voice facing off against a Scar who was 3 years and a whole foot taller than me. Talk about a deep end. Being in a show was unlike anything I’d […]
You would think my Journey story would begin with taking classes or participating in a show but in reality my story with Journey began a year before I joined.

I never had a consistent hobby as a kid. My mom would give me an opportunity to try something, and then I’d bounce from activity to activity like a lost ping pong ball. There was no community I truly belonged to. One day, my mom asked me if I wanted to watch a performance of […]
Most Journey stories start with the line “I took my first Journey class when I was seven.” However, I started when I was sixteen in early 2023. I had been involved in theater since I was eleven with various theater companies. I got to the point where I realized I wanted something more. I had […]
When I was 8 I auditioned for my first Journey show. And I was… less than thrilled; I nearly backed out twice. I sang “This Little Light of Mine”, and I forgot the name of the song onstage. The only reason I was there in the first place was because a friend dragged me into […]
As a child, I was never all that into musicals and would always rather watch regular movies rather than ones with music, but I had friends that were doing a program called Journey and my mom decided to enroll me in a class and I would audition for the next show, Narnia the Musical. I […]
I first started Journey in 2016 when my parents decided that I needed to come out of my shell and make some new friends. I wasn’t super athletic or sporty, and I certainly wasn’t into computers and STEM, so theater was the perfect fit for me. We had heard about Journey from some friends, so […]
