Next to Normal has been, and always will be, a dream show of mine. I feel fortunate and grateful to have been able to portray Gabe alongside a cast and crew that was so easy to connect with.

This show and its exploration of mental health and trauma continues to be one that is truly meaningful and necessary in the medium of theatre. A huge thank you to my fellow cast members and friends: @cooper_lamontagne @eyyitsjax @lyndifloyd @ariflorespr @treydiazmurphy @emmacatedavis . The support and encouragement we were able to share with each other throughout the rehearsal process was so inspiring and special. I will always be grateful for y’all🫰

365 days of us.

I am so grateful for every moment spent by your side. Over the past year, you’ve become a constant in my life that I value more than anything. Thank you for always knowing how to make me laugh, even when I don’t want to. Thank you for your infectious smile and your dedication to us and our future. But most of all, thank you for choosing me to love and stand by your side.

I truly don’t know where I would be without you.
I love you Delaney ❤️ by @connor_deroche
