Meet Former Acting Intern - Garett Harris

Meet Garett Harris

I was an acting intern during the 2015 season. Other than doing the fabulous show Evil Dead The Musical in Detroit (which closed in 2019) I have actually been on hiatus for the last few years. I used this time to travel and really work on myself. To grow mentally, and emotionally as best I could. I've done a few side gigs in commercials, but other than that I really have just been focusing on working on myself.

I was born and raised in Michigan, and I desperately tried to escape it a few years ago. Sadly due to various circumstances the good old mitten pulled me back in. Currently I am spending most of my time pursuing voice acting. I’m currently taking classes in hopes to one day make it a legitimate career for myself.

My favorite part of my internship was the challenge. Doing this internship was one of the most challenging things I have ever done, especially in terms of showing me what I did and didn't want out of the industry.  The most challenging part of my internship was believing in myself that I could actually do it. Understudying every male role and having to go on at the drop of a hat is a VERY overwhelming job, but the challenge (as intense as it was) was more than worth it.

My advice to future interns tis to keep your stage managers happy. A happy stage manager makes a happy stage….. Also do whatever you possibly can to make Cheryl smile. She’s a treat.
