One Acts Fesitval

Good evening, and thank you for joining us for the One Acts Festival .

The annual fall production is such a wonderful time of play and creative discovery. I love watching our passionate and hardworking actors in rehearsal: they take artistic risks, stretch their imaginations in new ways, trust and support one another, and collaborate well. They truly work together as an ensemble. And what a blessing they have a space and opportunity at VCS to use their God-given gifts and talents to give glory back to Him!

We hope that tonight, as you watch two uproariously silly takes on classic fairy tales, you are filled with joy and smile big.

“ Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. ”

Lamentations 3:22-23

BIOGRAPHIES

Sophia proudly attended Valley Christian High School, class of 2015, and from there went on to attend Azusa Pacific University’s BFA for Acting Major, which was ranked top 25 acting programs in the nation during her time of attendance. After hearing from the Lord it was time to move back to the Bay Area, Sophia transferred to San Jose State University where she graduated with a B.A. in Theatre Arts, Magna Cum Laude. Sophia has long dreamed of becoming a theatre teacher and feels fulfilled and thankful to now be able to coach and support young actors to become better artists, to get better acquainted with themselves, and most of all to discover their Creator.
