Interview: Aaron Ellis on Portraying Leo Frank in PARADE at Simi Valley Cultural Arts Center
I went to Agoura High School which had a program called ComedySportz. This was a way for students to learn and perform short-form improv. I would watch their shows in awe and eventually made it onto the team my Junior year. As I began to make friends within this program, I slowly transitioned from a band kid to a theater kid. Moorpark College gave me more opportunities to explore the different roles within the theater world, and this is where I truly fell in love with acting. Up until I graduated from Cal State Northridge last year, I was always taking improv classes at The Groundlings, and participating in as much community theater I could pull off with my busy college schedule. Throughout college, I was always so thankful to community theaters for giving me the space to exercise the muscles I had been working on in classes. -- Broadway World Los Angeles
