What High School are you graduating from? Bow High School

What is your favorite Palace Theatre memory?

In sixth grade, I was performing as Babkak in Aladdin Jr. when my pants fell down during one of the dance numbers! Instead of running off, I kept on dancing; one hand continuing the choreography and the other holding up my pants that were definitely too large. I’ll never forget how hard the audience laughed at that moment.

Finn Mac Seáin

What High School are you graduating from?

Hollis Brookline High School

What is your favorite Palace Theatre memory?

Making my Teen Company debut as Man in Chair in The Drowsy Chaperone was an experience I’ll never forget. Just making it into Teen Co was a dream come true in and of itself, but the experience made it even more special. I was playing one of my biggest dream roles, I was doing it with people I adore, and I was leading a show for the first time. And performing the show for an audience was the most exhilarating experience. The applause we got after each number, the laughter the audience let out after each joke, and the community of support amongst our company was unlike anything I’d ever experienced before. That show taught me to be confident in my abilities and to trust myself in what I do, and I am eternally grateful for it.

What are your future plans?

I will be attending Emerson College to pursue a BFA in Theatre Education & Performance. I plan on pursuing a career as both a professional performer and as an educator.I’m there.

What is your favorite Palace Theatre memory?

My favorite Palace Theatre memory is when I was talking with some of the kids in Camp Rock this past year, and I realized that I’d turned into a role model for them in the same way I used to see the Teen Co kids at their age. It was so full circle and such a bittersweet moment as I approached my “last-first show” of the season!

What are your future plans?
