Adam Woolsey grew up in Jackson with musical theater on his mind. A performance at the “American Idol Experience” at Disney World in Orlando led to Woolsey auditioning for the TV show in 2011 – and gaining some national exposure.

Current State’s Scott Pohl talked with the MSU senior about his newest endeavor -  starring in the upcoming production of “My Favorite Year” at Lansing's Riverwalk Theatre.
