Bella’s Love For Theater Is Contagious!
Bella T’s passion for theater began at a very young age, and she has been involved in various theater programs ever since. She started taking classes with Virginia Children’s Theater (VCT) and Mill Mountain Theater (MMT) when she was only four or five years old. Since then, she has continued to work with them and is currently a student of Mill Mountain Theater’s Acting and Music Theater Conservatory (MMTC). Bella is also a member of their Student Advisory Board, which allows her to provide feedback on the theater’s programs and activities.
Bella has also taken classes with Showtimers Theater, PB&J Theater, the New York Film Academy, and the University of North Carolina School of Arts. Her dedication to theater has paid off, and she has been involved in several productions. Some of her favorites include Out Of The Shadows (VCT), Cinderella (VCT), As You Like It (MMT), Lift Every Voice (VCT), and Charlotte’s Web (MMT). Most recently, Bella made her debut on the CHS stage as Marilla in our production of Dracula: a feminist, revenge fantasy, really.
These productions have allowed her to showcase her acting skills and grow as a performer. Bella is grateful for all the opportunities that theater has given her, and she considers it to be a life-changing experience that has allowed her to express herself freely. Additionally, Bella’s interest in theater is not limited to acting. Currently she is working on writing and staging a show with MMTC. Bella is beyond thankful for the chance to improve her theater skills at CHS, and looks forward to a bright future in theater.
