Peyton’s Theatre Accomplishments!! :)
Peyton started doing community theatre at the age of 18 after he graduated from West Monroe High School in May 2017.
Peyton’s first show was at the Strauss Theatre in Monroe, Louisiana. It was a musical called My Fair Lady (September 2017), and later on in April 2018 with the musical Sister Act. In December 2018, He participated in a Christmas show called “Cottonland Christmas” where he was a soloist singing “Santa Claus is coming to Town”
He returned to the Strauss in April 2019 and got casted in Mamma Mia where Cherrie Sciro from the drama department at Louisiana Tech was the director in nearby Ruston. Right after he got done with Mamma Mia, He went to CA Studio, also headquartered in Monroe to try out for the play called The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime which he was casted in having various ensemble roles which he performed in June 2019 at Lea’s of LeCompte Restaurant.
