Introduction

    

Since conception my parents thought they were going to have a little baby Dakota. Not the case. Instead on October 7, 1993 I was born. Seven pounds two ounces and twenty-one inches long. I’m not sure why, but my parents decided to name me Cody instead and it turns out I have the most boring and common whole name ever, Cody Lee Anderson. How simplistic can things get really?

I was born in Virginia Beach, VA at 7:35am and continued to live there until I was about 12. Then two months into my 7th grade year my parents decided to move to good ole Menomonie, WI. Personally, I wasn’t a huge fan of moving at all. From my perspective, the two places were complete opposites! Warm weather and the beach to cold weather and cows. My older siblings really didn’t mind moving at all and being the youngest of 6, I couldn’t really complain or I would never hear the end of things.

Since living in Wisconsin I have begun singing and performing. After school I would always try to use up my free time by doing musicals and productions. I was never satisfied with only doing one show at a time so I always tried to do at least two and a time. That’s one thing that I love about being at Milwaukee. Not only does the bigger city setting give more opportunities performance wise but it has also given me the kick start I wanted with my major. Last semester alone I did four shows total. This summer was actually what made me finalize my decision to become a Musical Theater major. KIDS from Wisconsin was probably the most fun thing I have ever done performance wise in my life thus far and has led me to have the future goal to be on Broadway someday.
