RENT at SU Drama

It was such a pleasure to spend my summer in Auburn New York working at the Merry-Go-Round playhouse.

A Rebel Prayer: The academic world premiere

Febuary-March 2026

I was thrilled to rejoin the world of A Rebel Prayer as the dance captain, ensemble, and the Pussy Riot on-stage cover. I have had the great opportunity to watch the development of this deeply impactful story and could not be more honored to bring the world premiere to life. A Rebel Prayer is a new musical with book and lyrics by Eloise T. Govedare, music by Aleksandra M. Weil and directed by Kathleen Wrinn.

Performers in costumes acting on stage with dramatic gestures, some with arms extended and expressions of concern, in a dark setting with stage lighting.

The image shows a theatrical performance with actors wearing masks and casual clothing, holding protest signs that read "Free Pussy Riot." The scene is set on a stage with minimal background and dramatic lighting, emphasizing the rebellious and political message of the act.

A Rebel Prayer: The Staged Reading

August-October 2025

At the start of junior year I had the opportunity to enter the world of Katya in the staged reading of A Rebel Prayer. Learning the process of a new musical and being in the room with BOTH writers was such an amazing experience. Thank you Kathleen Wrinn for trusting me with this exciting script!

Trentino Music Festival

June-July 2025

After closing Cats, I hopped on a plane to North Italy to train and perform in the Trentino Valley. Performing for the community of Mezzano and Fiera has made a lasting impact on me and my artistry. Not to mention the beautiful views! Thank you to the Trentino Music Festival for this wonderful opportunity to learn and grow.

Cats at Casa Mañana

May-June 2025

I travelled back to the stock yards for my second summer at Casa Mañana. This time as a swing and pit singer for Cats, directed by Parker Esse. Covering Bombalurina, Demeter, Victoria, and Sillibub has been a deeply gratifying and an incredible learning process. Country Cats forever!

Big Fish at Redhouse Performing Arts

January-March 2025

In collaboration with ARC of Onondaga I mentored and performed as Josephine in Big Fish. Working with Arc was such a pleasure and passion project for me. All-abilities theater has continued to be a cherished calling of mine and I hope to work with ARC again in the future!

Pippin at SU Drama

August-October 2024

There is more magic to do in Syracuse for Pippin round 2! Thrilled to learn how to swing for the first time ever. Thank you to this cast and crew for such a wonderful first SU Drama show experience.

Pippin at Casa Mañana

After my first year in college, I came home to Texas to hit the stage as the dance captain and a part of the ensemble in the Casa Mañana’s apprentice program. Through this program I was able to learn and flex my skills with an incredible group of high school and college aged students.#bratsummerpippinstyle

Beauty and the Beast

2022

In closing my high school chapter at Highland Park High School, I had the privilege of performing as Belle in Beauty and the Beast. I loved greeting every little boy and girl after the performance, hoping to inspire at least one to pursue theater. I will miss this brunette!
