In July of 2021 and 2022, Will was a performer in a brand new devised theatre program known as, "The WYSH Project," (Worcester Youth Speak Honestly). This piece allowed students to have a platform to speak their truths on social, citywide and even worldwide issues that affected them. This process allowed students to create the performance from the ground up themselves, culminating in both a mainstage performance and a tour of the show across a myriad of schools throughout the city.
