We sat down with actor Gerold Oliver and discussed things from taking the leap into acting while in college, to community theatre, to his most memorable theatre moment with a fan after progressing to professional theatre.Gerold knew all his life that he wanted to be performative, he just hadn’t quite figured out how to find true love for the things he was doing. In college is where that performance hunger truly manifested, and in taking a Drama class he realized that acting was his true passion. Since then he has worked hard to progress into “going professional”, which he has since accomplished. This is not as easy as you would think, as Gerold explains, but once achieved there is a level of professionalism local community theatre actors may not be aware exists.
