"It was really loving here, and really supportive here."
—Kevin Miles (Theatre ‘08)
On Friday, May 24, The Academy had a special visit from alum Kevin Miles (Theatre ‘08) – also known as Jake from State Farm. After sitting down in the Theatre wing for an interview with ABC 7 Eyewitness News anchor Hosea Sanders, Kevin spent the day exploring the school and hanging out with the Theatre and Musical Theatre students. His eyes lit up upon rediscovering the hallways and classrooms from his high school years, immediately recanting memories from his time at The Academy and asking about teachers and staff by name. In his time with our students, Kevin offered advice, answered questions, and taught the students a new theatre warmup game.
Thanks for stopping by, Kevin! We can’t wait to see what you have next in store. View the whole piece from Hosea Sanders and ABC 7 below!
