Theatre was a natural solution that came out of a parent-teacher conference during which Pinkham’s teacher said they needed to find him an outlet for his “reckless creativity.” His parents were quick to enroll him in a kids theatre.
Pinkham’s parents also introduced him to theatre early on. “I think I really loved performance and theatre and all of that and my brother loved theatre but also music, and it was just sort of a match made in heaven, or a match made by our mother,” Lazour said. Lazour first discovered his love for playwriting when he and his brother wrote their first musical for a middle school play competition. “I was a big Andrew Lloyd Webber fan when I was a kid because my dad would play cassette tapes like Phantom of the Opera and Les Misérables, though I know Les Mis isn’t Andrew Lloyd Webber.” “I always loved the theatre,” Lazour said. Music and theatre surrounded Lazour’s life from an early age, he said.
Despite the drastic effect of COVID-19 on the performing arts industry, all three have found new avenues to express their love for the performing arts and share it with their audiences. Īll three were at different points in their careers, but last spring, they shared a common experience-the COVID-19 pandemic temporarily halted their careers. For Patrick Lazour, BC ’13 Sarah Lunnie, BC ’08 and Bryce Pinkham, BC ’05, Boston College served as a springboard to eventually becoming a playwright, dramaturg, and Tony Award–nominated actor.
