My name is Thuja Plicata and I am a tree. No, just kidding. I'm a student at Western Washington University and I'm studying theatre with a concentration in entertainment design and technology. I've been Dragon in Shrek: the musical, Mrs. Bradman in Blithe Spirit and Mrs. Kirby in You Can't Take It With You. But tech is my true love, not acting. I've been a sound board operator for Fiddler on the Roof, a cameraman for Good Water, a scene painter for Blithe Spirit, and a light hanger for Cabaret and No Exit. Anything that happens backstage, I want to do it.
My dream job is working at Seattle Children’s Theatre. It all began when I was taken on a tour of the facility during the Naked Mole Rat Gets Dressed Gala. Looking down over the giant floor of the scene shop and seeing props from past shows hanging on the walls, poking my head into the costume shop and seeing the works in progress- that’s what did it for me. That was the “woah I know what I want to do with my life!” moment.
