About Me

Hello! I'm Nory Collier.

I am currently a student at Vista Ridge High School, and a proud member of the Theatre department. I am in the JV combination, acting, and tech class, and Theatre 1 (for a little extra experience.) I am very passionate about all parts of theatre, and I'm always happy to learn new skills.

This is my technical portfolio. Here I will display previous projects, as well as sharing my experience with technical theatre.
