He has gone through a two-year Meisner intensive, as well as full Lessace voice and movement training. You can see him on-screen in Bo Bartlett’s “Things Don’t Stay Fixed” wherever you get movies. His favorite role was Bobby, in Georgia Repertory Theatre’s production of American Buffalo, where he got to share the stage with his two acting professors. He re-found Onstage Atlanta after moving to Avondale Estates and recognizing the theater as the place he took weekend classes in middle school. He feels lucky to now be a part of the family and community here. Outside of theatre he likes BLTs, game shows, and the smell of rain on dirt.
Holli Majors
Pundit
Holli Majors (Pundit) – Holli is thrilled to be back at OnStage and working with DeWayne, Bill and an amazing cast in this really fun show. Thank you to all her friends and family that support her crazy antics.
Cameron Pratt
Alex
Cameron Pratt (Alex) – would love to know after the show: what’s your favorite book, and why? Of course, it would be impolite not to share my own answer too. I think my favorite book was Artemis Fowl. It was the first book that completely pulled me into its world... I could vividly imagine all the people and places in my head while reading it. Give it a read if you want to see what happens when a young genius tries to steal gold from fantasy creatures hiding beneath the Earth’s crust and enjoy the show 🙂
