"The Heathers" by Pegasus Players Theater Group | Find a Second Family

Growing up immersed in theater, joining Pegasus Players felt like a natural fit for me. Little did I know then that this decision would lead me to a place where I could explore, grow, and find a second family.

Neil Simon's "Rumors" was the production that welcomed me into the fold. Landing the role of Officer Putney and the joy of being part of such a vibrant community was overwhelming. Pegasus was more than just a theater group; it was a tightly-knit family. Witnessing the seniors bid farewell as they graduated only reinforced the bond that held us together. Pegasus Players exemplifies the power of diversity and collaboration in the arts, reminding us that true magic happens when we come together as a community, united by our love for the stage.

"Returning to Pegasus and auditioning for "Heathers" felt like a homecoming for me. The familiar faces and the welcoming atmosphere of the theater group provided a sense of belonging that I had missed during my time away."

I was away from Pegasus for a year and a half, primarily due to personal reasons. I needed time to focus on other aspects of my life, dealing with personal challenges as well as pursuing different opportunities. But when the opportunity arose to return to Pegasus, I knew it was time to come back to what I loved.
