![]() Pretty crazy stuff for a kid from Texas, but I was open in mind and heart. I’m at the Experimental Theatre Wing so we’re doing everything avant-garde, all forms of self-expression. So I go, and I’m just deflowered as a performer. The recession had hit my family and I have no clue why my parents let me go to this day, but they said we would figure it out together. I’d already done a summer program there, I knew exactly what I wanted, and if I hadn’t gotten in I would have had about a week to apply to other colleges before the deadlines. I applied nowhere else, like an insane person. Turns out I was really fucking funny and good, and it was exactly what I wanted to do.Ī few years later, I applied early decision to NYU and auditioned for their drama program at Tisch, and got in. ![]() My parents were mortified because they didn’t want me to suck and embarrass myself (which my dad hilariously revealed to me last year, I think?). For no apparent reason, I think because ultimately I am an extrovert, and at the urging of a friend, I auditioned for a play my sophomore year and got in. The closest thing to a team was playing violin in orchestra, but even then I could disappear. I drew, painted, wrote stories, did tae kwon do (couldn’t spar for shit but Lord knows I got gold in form). Therefore all my art or extracurriculars could be done mostly alone. Which is partially due to how I was raised – my parents are by no means social butterflies, and I spent a lot of time alone in my room until I was about 16. It’s a tough place to grow up if you’re sensitive, have anxiety, depression, are shy or introverted, etc. ![]() So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there. Thanks for sharing your story with us Zachary. Today we’d like to introduce you to Zachary Webber.
