Spotlight on Ronnie Schulkin

I’ve had the privilege of working with Ronna (call her Ronnie) in two shows, the fall Storytelling and now the Holiday show. What fun we are having. Ronnie brings a new vitality to our performances and a special gift- she likes to connect people to others. She reintroduced me to Corine Miller, the mother of the young prince cast in 1994 Cabrillo Stage production of The King and I with me.

Ronnie was kind enough to answer the following questions.

What drew you to NSP?

Thanks to NextStage for featuring me in the Spotlight. I am so happy I decided to join NextStage. I was looking for a way to perform in a group that gives back to our community. I love the opportunity to make new friends with other creative people who enjoy performance art.

What have you appreciated the most about the NSP activities?

NextStage has given me a place to sing which is one of my favorite things. It has also given me the chance to learn many new things about performance often taking me outside my comfort zone and, I love it!

What would you tell someone who is curious and/or thinking about joining NSP?

I would, and have, recommended NextStage to anyone who is looking to expand their community, meet wonderful new people, and try something new, creative and rewarding.

I know you will enjoy meeting Ronnie. She will brighten your day.
