Hello! My name is Salem and I love all things theatre & acting!

I identify as a multifaceted theatre artist with a wide range of skills and interests. I grew up doing tons of theatre in and around Fairfax, VA (and falling in love with it!). I then spent 4 years in Harrisonburg, VA at James Madison University getting my Bachelor’s in Theatre.

I preformed in over 20 shows for nearly a decade before I truly delved into my passion for a range of technical theatre areas such as: makeup/hair, props, electrics, run crew, etc. I also adore other areas of tech theatre and creative collaboration.

As a human, artist, activist, and student: I love to grow and share. I am the kind of artist to jump at an opportunity to build a community of creatives striving towards a common goal.

Beyond theatre, I love a good thrift trip full of black clothing finds, formulating hyper specific vision boards/collages, and constantly listening memoir audiobooks or podcasts. I’m also a lover of hiking, camping, and nature - especially when there is a beach involved!
