You kno
w
ho
w
most theme park performers these days
are lacking inspiration and direction?
W
ell,
w
hat I do is cast performers
w
ho
fi
t
into their roles as if they are part of their o
w
n identity. I
w
ill lead them to a
consistently stellar performance through my organization and inspiring
experience. In fact, I have 22 years of performance experience from all over
the
