What's new!
I'm currently rehearsing "Raven's Stars: A New Musical" with the East Tennessee Music Company and we will open our week long workshop run on March 9th, 2023 at the Edge Theatre in Chicago. Find tickets here!
This past fall, I completed my training in Meisner pedagogy with Green Shirt Studios and deeply enjoyed being back in a classroom.
On the other side of the stage, Theatre EVOLVE open and closed our third show, "Krugozor!" to rave reviews and audiences.
This was my first show in a producing role and I am so proud of the whole team. Experiencing this show's life from first script to strike was a deeply moving experience.
We also launched our new "Hot Mic Night" series, featuring performers of all kinds doing, honestly, weird stuff. The next performance will be in spring 2023 with the theme "It's My Party and I'll Cry if I Want To".
