Hey There!
Welcome to my "About Me" page. Here you're gonna find out all you could ever want to know about little old me, personal stuff about how all this began and how I came to be on your device. So sit back and enjoy the read...
The Spark
I was born and raised in upstate New York “some place near Buffalo…” At an early age I knew that there’s “…gotta be more than a one light town where the light is always red.” While digging in the back yard looking for diamonds at age five, I announced to my dad that when I grew up I wanted to be an archeologist.
At 6 years old, my mom took me to see my first play: "Once Upon a Clothesline". I didn't move or even breathe during the entire performance.
The Natural
My next theatre adventure came in the 3rd grade when my best friend, who had the lead in the school play, became mysteriously ill the day of the show. Our teacher, Mrs. Clark, asked if anyone could learn the entire play in 2 hours. I said “I can do that!” And it went off without a hitch.
The Academic
I “dreamed a dream” as time went by of other careers besides archeology: an architect, a cosmetologist and an operatic costume designer. While dreaming, suburbia kept life "very middle class and very straight.” My parents kept me on track to becoming the quintessential son: a doctor or lawyer.
The Easy Street
At the start of 10th grade, I decided to become "...Bernie Schrieber, C.P.A.", an accountant. It came natural to me and I was good at it. According to my parents, I needed more extracurricular activities for college applications. But for some reason I kept putting off joining anything.
The Home Coming
Then one day my mom made me promise that I was going to “…get up, get out, and do it”. So what ever club that had a meeting that day, I would become a member.
In home room that morning, I listened to the announcements. There was only one club meeting that day:
The Drama Club.
