SWAG合集 Natural Gas Student, 29 year old James Mayes, is knee-deep in his coursework to become a member of the Natural Gas industry, but he has always had the desire to be on stage. He found a way to do both and is a cast-member for the upcoming SWAG合集 Theatre Spring Musical 鈥淕odspell.鈥澨 The musical is at 7:30 p.m. March 5, 6, 7 and at 2 p.m. March 8.

Mayes performed in a 鈥淐hristmas Carol鈥 as Bob Cratchit this fall and had experience in theater in high school.听
