    “I started going right into being a an actor, singer and dancer — that’s what I wanted to become, was a triple threat — and I think Shadowbox had that opportunity and created that opportunity,” says Lay. “I saw a lot of flexibility in creating many different characters in a short amount of time, versus going to Chicago or New York where I would be a server as well as trying to make it in this one theater to play this one character, and I just saw more opportunity to create.”
