Recital 2004
I believe John was born singing, dancing and making people laugh. He started his career at the age of 5 and at 7 he was performing on stage. John starred in "The Secret Garden" and has had supporting roles in "Oliver" and "Inherit the Wind" with TexRep. In 2002 UIL Competition he played "David" in "David and Lisa". In 2003 John won a UIL Best Actor Award for his portrayal of "Charlie" in "Flowers for Algernon" and in 2004, John won "All Star Cast" in UIL District and Area Competition as "George" in "Of Mice and Men". With all of his accomplishments, it's a wonder he has time to go to school but John is a straight A student. He is now a Senior in high school, so "which college" is a very important subject at this time. John will do Grand where ever he goes! He is One of the Best!
