Meet the Students: Abigail Sims

by Vicki Hiesser  |   

Abigail Sims' passion for acting, for performing live, helped her choose PWSC to start her college education. She recently starred in the college's productions of “As You Like It” and “If…” and participated in the Valdez Last Frontier Theatre Conference. Now, she has enrolled in Theatre Appreciation taught by Dawson Moore.

When asked what her academic plan is, Abigail shared, “My plan is to get my Associates of Arts in General Studies, and then I will decide what to do after that. Acting is my passion and I really enjoy writing, so my plan is to [concentrate on the degree] now and then I will decide where to go after that.” There is certainly a draw to acting for Sims. While she isn't fully certain why she loves theatre, she has an idea. “Maybe it’s the creative aspect. The fun role-playing, like we used to do when we were kids.”

Abigail was born and raised in Texas. She and her family moved to Valdez about 3 years ago. “I really enjoy living in Valdez. It is such an amazing place.”
