I’m so thrilled to be back at @sidequesttheater for another wild improv show, this time with screams, slashers and a familiar tower game! Join me and this awesome cast every Friday and Sunday all month!

This may be one of, if not the most important and impactful stories I’ve ever had the privilege to tell on stage. Words cannot properly express the love and gratitude I have for this production. I was challenged, reborn and ripped open at every turn of this process, resulting in 11 amazing performances and audiences witnessing a story about love, queerness, and returning.

If you ever get the chance to work with or see a @theatrebydevelopment show, DO IT. I am constantly in awe of Monti, Andrew and Lindsey’s dedication to their craft and the rooms they curate. This entire team was radiant, bringing their best every step of the way. Thank you to everyone who came to see us, to Jack for their leadership and vision, Haley for taking care of us, Rose for her beautiful words, and Olive for her trust and love on stage. 💐
Thank you Elio, for showing me that there is still time, even now, to face yourself and face the truth. That you’re deserving of more chances. I love you, and will always keep a part of you with me.☀️
Tell trans stories. Show that queer love can age. Know that it doesn’t have to cost anything. <3

So @makegoodtheatreco had our first cabaret last night, and I couldn’t be more proud of this group of people. Here’s me performing “Dust and Ashes” from Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812. I felt it fitting, as I wake up to this beautiful creative life I’m getting to live.☄️

Ragers, graduations, friendsgivings, birthdays, & 2 years worth of growth and change. Highly recommended if you last minute get to live with 4 of your best friends in a big ass house. Very thankful for it 🫶

To those who graced Crankle with their presence, I knight you with whimsy and a Polaroid. And who’s Crankle you ask? Doesn’t matter they died in a gas leak (not clickbait)

“We are all born mad. Some remain so.” Truly, we were mad to put this beast of a play on its feet. But how else would you do this absurd show, other than with a team of the funniest, most honest performers and theater makers I’ve ever gotten to work with. And to share the stage with Carl as my Didi AND director was a pleasure I can’t put into words.
Thank you to @spencerboyceprod for your fearless leadership and belief in us, thank you @philly.pack for letting me play on the stage I grew up with, thank you @fernmorehouse_ & @the_genuine_penn for your vision, @charlienicolini & @milesmclean for your commitment, brotherhood and love, and everyone who waited with us in the audience.

Thank you Gogo, I hope you get the sleep you need <3

I’m a little late, but it’s been one year since Underfoot released! Happy to report that in that time, we’ve been in the hands of players in all 50 states, appeared at conventions, found a spot on FLGS shelves, and have been welcomed into an incredible community of creators, writers, artists, and tabletop enthusiasts.

What started as my senior thesis project has grown beyond anything I could have ever hoped for. I’m so grateful to everyone who backed, played, reviewed, stocked, distributed, shared, or supported Underfoot over the past year, especially to my two collaborators, @wet.eel and @gideon.mcd . I would not have been able to complete this game, market at conventions, or succeed in crowdfunding without your hard work. THANK YOU!
