Makenzie has been a part of LFC since 2021 and has been in many productions including Rocky Horror Picture Show, A Collective Rage: A Play in 5 Betties & Grease
"My favorite memory from LFC was when I got casted as Magenta in Rocky Horror in 2021. It was the first time I auditioned for anything since high school and I didn’t expect to get a lead role, and had no idea that it would change my life. It was the first time where performing felt so natural to me! Rocky horror allowed me to connect with myself and find my true passion in acting. Being apart of LFC truly made my college career; having such fun parties, meeting new people, becoming best friends .ogilbee & most of all being able to express myself through the art of acting."
