I am so excited to be understudying Tammy in the Walnut Street Theatre's production of Escape to Margaritaville! This show is an absolute blast: hilarious, heartfelt, and so much fun! Performances are from March 28- May 7th!
​
From the Walnut Street Theatre website:
"Kick off your flip flops and set your clock to island time, as the Walnut is transformed into a tropical paradise where love and laughter are the keys to ‘growing older but not up.’ We’re going to Margaritaville. Leading our visit is Tully, a part-time bartender, part-time singer, and full-time charmer who thinks he’s got life all figured out—until a beautiful tourist steals his heart and makes him question everything. ESCAPE TO MARGARITAVILLE is a heartwarming musical featuring both original songs and your most-loved Jimmy Buffett classics, including “It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere,” “Fins,” “Volcano,” “Cheeseburger in Paradise,” and many more!"

Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde
adapted by Jeffrey Hatcher​
directed by Zach Curtis
Chenango River Theatre Company
Director/Scenic Design: ZACH CURTIS, Stage Manager: PAIGE K. TRIPP, Cellist: JEFF McAULEY, Lighting Design: GRANT E. MERGES, Costume Design: BARBARA KAHL
In Fall 2022 I made my CRT debut and played Elizabeth in their production of a new-telling of the classic story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. I had the best time diving into this juicy script with such amazing collaborators.
​
From the Chenango River Theatre Company website:
"In the fog-bound back alleys of Victorian-era London, Dr. Henry Jekyll experiments with ‘tinctures and powders’ which unleash his other self – Edward Hyde, a sensual and villainous alter ego free to commit the sins Jekyll is too civilized to comprehend. Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic is adapted by Jeffrey Hatcher, one of the most prolific and critically acclaimed playwrights in contemporary American theatre."

I had the pleasure of understudying the role of Little Red Ridinghood at the Arden Theatre Company. This was the first Sondheim piece I've gotten to work on, and it meant so much to me. Working with this ensemble was so much fun, and I am so thrilled to have been a part of this incredible production.
From the Arden Theatre Company's website:
"One of Sondheim’s most beloved musicals returns to the F. Otto Haas stage with a magical radiance. Into the Woods explores the journey to the fairy tales’ happy ending – and the responsibilities that come with ever after."
Murder, She Sang!
Produced and Directed by Stearns Matthews
Music Directed by Daniel Espie
Philadelphia Arts Bank
Murder, She Sang! , my debut one-woman cabaret, is filled with songs that fuel my true-crime obsession. True crime podcasts and documentaries are huge in today’s media. Evil is fascinating. We want to take a peek into the psychology of what makes people crack. We get drawn into the mystery. The who-dun-it. The motive. The fight for justice. And the sheer horror of the crime. Plus, the storytelling associated with true crime is unmatched, and since music and storytelling go hand in hand, there are some amazing and quite popular songs about murder. It'll be taking place at the Arts Bank in Philadelphia Theater, admission is FREE! AND if you can't make it in person, it'll also be live-streamed! Follow my socials for more details! It'd be a crime to miss it!
