I graduated high school this past May and I booked a six month contract at Bush Gardens, Williamsburg, and I was a vocalist there for six months. And then I came home for a couple of weeks in between jobs. And we were planning a vacation in Pigeon Forge because I grew up coming here, if not every weekend, every other weekend. And so we were planning a vacation down here. And I was like, I wonder if I can get some auditions while I'm down there. So I got auditions at several theaters down here and then everywhere I didn't get an audition at, I took my headshot and resume and I introduced myself. And I was just telling them how much I've always wanted to perform here. And when I did my audition at biblical times, they were like, could you come back for a, for a callback? And I was like, yeah, of course. So I came back the next weekend and I auditioned again. And the next day they called me and offered me this job. You may recognize Lauren from local productions. And she stated that the experience she gained while performing in Eastern Kentucky since the age of four has provided her with a strong provisional foundation and fueled her passion for performing. Growing up in Eastern Kentucky was really amazing. It's just full of family and support and kindness and talent. It was hard loving the performing arts and having limited resources, but I took literally any opportunity I could and I made the best out of it. And now I'm getting to do what I love professionally. So McCoy signed a one year contract with the biblical Toms dinner theater. So for the first half of the show, it's like a two hour show. There's an hour and then intermission and then another hour. So the first half is like a gospel concert. There's singing and dancing and a few little skits. It's so much fun. We really just have a blast every time we do it. The walls of the theater come to life around you providing a visual experience to enhance the music or transport you back in time to ancient Israel. I know of a few people that are coming from Pike County, but I'm hoping that I'll be surprised with a bunch of familiar faces, especially around opening weekend and stuff. The first performance is March 24th. For more information, visit biblicaltomstheater.com. Reporting from Mountain Tom News, I'm Ethan Miller.
