In 2004, I was in the Blue Apple Players a theatre group for young actors and moved on to Stage One Workshops, Also, joined the University Of Louisville Ballet for two years. In summer of 2006, I was in Shakespeare Production Summer Camp, were young actors dive head first into the world of the greatest playwright in history: William Shakespeare. Under the guidance of theatre professionals, participants unravel his plays with text analysis; transform into Shakespeare’s characters through voice, movement and improvisation work; wage battles against mortal enemies with stage combat; and develop fundamental acting skills using classical theatre techniques. To culminate each session, participants stage a performance for friends and family at the Louisville Shakespeare Company.

Still working at Fourth Street LIVE as a production technician for the concerts and events. A god fearing young man who has come a long way of having reading difficulty and never knew how he was going to achieve his goals. With prayers each and every day he built that self- confidence to not let anything or anybody get in my way. That he believes he was born with a natural god gifted talent that can accomplish what he set his mind to do. he has many goals that he plans to achieve; he is a hard worker, self-starter, and a leader to others. Stephon said that “Being a part of a theatre and business atmosphere beginning at a young age this became my passion for my future. My interest in theatre and business has progressed since middle school. I have volunteer with several different organizations. Which includes musical theatres, technical theatres, offices and business related clubs (Stage One, MSD, Sound Ministry, Drama Ministry, CFD Ministry, FCA, FBLA, NAACP, LCCC Teen Leadership Council, Sacred Heart Academy School Of Arts, Fourth Street LIVE and LCCC). As I pursue my passion I will continue researching, interning at various theaters and studying to further my education and knowledge of how to become a successful and productive theatrical business man. In college I plan to successfully graduate with a degree in Theatre and Business relations. I pray to someday to start my own theatre business and giving back to the community, by creating a safe environment, keeping children out of trouble with the arts and teaching them how to better the community. The college I will be attend in the fall of 2014 will be Indiana University Southeast that’s one of eight Indiana University campuses, that gives you all the excitement of a Big Ten university, a highly respected degree, and world-class resources. Plus I’ll get personal attention I might need to succeed. I’ll know my professors- and they'll know me. Their focus at IU Southeast is to help me do more than complete a degree. They’ll help me surpass my own expectations and reach my true potential and surprise myself.
