VoyageATL Interview: ATL's Most Inspiring Stories, Meet Kristen Jeter

“I got introduced to Theatre in middle school. My chorus teacher was also the head of the Drama department. Shout out to Liz Dean who taught me how to read music and love storytelling. As an after school program, we put on a junior version of Guys and Dolls. We even got to perform an excerpt of the show at the Fabulous Fox Theater. I was hooked! Griffin Middle School only allowed its students to take two elective classes at a time, so I chose to drop Band in order to study Drama as well as Chorus. I was my band’s first chair flutist when I made the switch, so my band director was pretty unhappy with me, but I had to go with gut. Ms. Dean rewarded my dedication with a leadership position. I directed my first play in the 8th grade.”
