What is your position in Yorick?
President!

Junior.

Schenectady, NY.
What do you love about Yorick?
I love that while Shakespeare sounds intimidating, Yorick is basically a bunch of hilarious and talented college students coming together and making something enjoyable for everyone. Whether you understand the show or think it’s another language Yorick will always get you to a point of understanding and entertainment.
What is one goal you’d like to accomplish for the club this year?
Along with all the other E-Board members I am very interested in expanding the club, but I am also looking for new ideas to improve Yorick while still keeping with the traditions we all know and love.

The first show I ever acted in was a disco themed “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”, so Shakespeare has always held a special place in my heart!
