Joshua is incredibly thankful for the gift of theater. It gave him the courage to show everyone that in preschool, you truly can’t catch the gingerbread man. Later, it brought barbershop harmonies into his life in high school and helped him find his voice. Theater also carried him to Nashville, TN for college, where he learned and grew into what he was capable of.

Through it all, theater allowed Joshua to travel the world, singing for his supper and meeting people along the way. It then led him to Jacksonville, where he met Lee Hamby and found a community he’ll always treasure.

Joshua is also thankful for this amazing cast who shares their gifts of theater with the Jacksonville community. 

But most of all, he’s thankful that theater brought him to his wife, Michelle—who gave him the best gift in the world: his daughters, Taylor and Madison. Shine your light, Bond girls!

P.S. Attention casting directors. There is more than one Josh in Jacksonville you can cast in a musical. Give Josh Waller a moment to rest.
