Being apart of this show was not only such a joy to work on, but was exactly what my soul needed. The barn is a truly special place, but the people are who are the special ones. Seeing old friends, and making plenty of new ones was the biggest joy.

Much love to the incredible talented, kind, and hilarious cast who made my job so easy and brightened up every single day. To the killer band who blew the roof of the barn with only 5 of us, and knew how to have a great time and absolutely crush it. To the creative team/designers/crew, the show would not happen without all of you and you led with grace, kindness, and heart.

I truly love everyone who made this show so special and was so beyond honored to spread the love around with you all. ❤️

THAT’S A WRAP ON THE SHREK NATIONAL TOUR!

There aren’t enough words to say how much I love and adore all of these amazing people I have gotten work with over the last 4 months. Not only are they the most talented group of people I know, they are also the kindest and most fun. I will be forever grateful for this amazing opportunity and show. Thank you to everyone from the bottom of my heart. I love you all more than I can say. 💚💚💚
