Alexis Stockdale, fifteen from Grosse Ile. Originally from the<br />
Southwest, where at the age of eight she was introduced to<br />
musical theater by her parents. One regular family outing<br />
was attending bi-monthly performance of Broadway classics<br />
at the quaint local playhouse "Arizona Broadway Theater" in<br />
Peoria, Arizona. Alexis remembers “It was there that I first<br />
participated in a live musical production as the culmination<br />
of an ABT summertime theater workshop for kids”. Since<br />
moving to Michigan in 2008 she has twice had the<br />
opportunity to participate in the Michigan Opera Theater's<br />
July children’s productions. These experiences and the<br />
musical mentors along the way have significantly influenced<br />
and broadened her musical tastes to include classical music and opera (which is her new favorite thing).
