I first knew of Henry’s existence in the world when he was probably 6 or 7. Little did I know that I’d end up working with him for four years and watching him grow into a fine actor and even better human. But lets be serious here, Henry came to HHS talented. I first got to work with him in Pride and Prejudice when I cast him as a Freshman, I really just wanted to work with him, so I put him in the show. The rest is history. So, let me introduce you to Henry, a Senior at HHS who will be closing his high School theatre career with Musical Comedy Murders of 1940 this May.
