He was seen on stage in titles such as Legally Blonde, Jesus Christ Superstar, and most recently Diary of a Wimpy Kid.

Tier I A subsidized rate for Artsplorations. Tier I tuition does not reflect the actual cost for a student to attend Artsplorations.
Tier II A partially subsidized rate for families that wish to pay a little more to support The Arts Center but cannot afford the full rate of camp. Tier II tuition does not reflect the actual cost for a student to attend Artsplorations.
Tier III The rate that reflects the cost of a student to attend Artsplorations, including staffing, materials, facilities, and administrative expenses.
Tier IV This rate is the full tier III option, including a supplemental donation to support families who cannot afford the full cost of camp.
Artsplorations Workshops do not qualify for scholarships; however, Athens Area Council for the Arts is committed to reducing barriers to participation in the arts, including financial need.
