Dru found his love for performing when he learned to juggle scarves and spin plates at circus camp at 9 years of age. After spending high school performing at local community theatres, trading football for dance classes, and learning to play drums, guitar, bass, and piano, he attended Emerson College in Boston, earning his BFA in Musical Theatre in 2011.
