As President of the Film & TV Club, Parker prides themself on their knowledge of film and TV. They see the entire world as one big production: Math Class is a horror movie, the lunchroom is a cooking show, and Phys Ed is a war documentary.

Reel Times at Somerset High was developed through the Stage Partners One-Act Play Commission program with EdTA, and workshopped with a cast of Thespians from across the country at International Thespian Festival 2024, culminating in a premiere staged reading.
