Curious about what’s now and next in entertainment? Your search begins and ends with the introduction to a captivating light and daring soul in the personhood of Joshua Blocker. With humble beginnings rooted in Oak Cliff, this Dallas native has defied odds and treaded deep waters, reimagining what it means to be an entertainer. Naturally, a performer, owning every room he stepped into, Joshua always knew he was special but didn’t quite know the path his life would take. After seeing his first play at age 9, he then decided what he wanted to do forever — perform. This inclination to perform was never purposed in fame or in the idea of being seen but rather as a revelation of responsibility, recognizing a new avenue of showing people themselves with the hope that by seeing themselves they would be charged to become better. It was always clear to Joshua that storytelling had the power to change lives. It changed him, tremendously. 

Joshua began his storytelling journey around age 13 writing skits and shows for his local church. Due to the deficit of performance opportunities & training in the area he grew up in, Joshua jumped in head first in local efforts, imitating the greats and following blueprints of his inspirations until his gift could be properly cultivated. It was not until he entered high school that his gift found a home in the theatre department where his acting gift was trained and cultivated, first, by Michelle Coleman. Joining forces and submitting to her tutelage, Joshua began performing in shows and brought attention to the school by winning Awards such as Best Actor and Best Performance in UIL competitions!!! That type of recognition gave Joshua the confidence and reassurance that he was made for this.
