Theater and the performing arts in general have been the siren call of my life. Of all the ways to express oneself, creatively and otherwise, acting has been and is for me the most satisfying. It's probably why I keep coming back to the life. My wish is to keep growing and learning in the profession by taking classes and being a student of life. In the end, the best way to stay connected to any future character I hope to craft is by studying those wonderful characters right around me. Karen M. Hoffman
