It’s taken me some time to sit, process, and somehow dwindle thousands of photos and feelings into 20 images, but here we go:

Natasha, Pierre, and The Great Comet of 1812 has been one of my great loves since its Broadway days in 2017. It is a story of love, hope, lust, betrayal, self discovery, and it’s a fucking electro pop opera based off of a section of War & Peace. I am privileged to say I not only performed in, but produced and directed my dream show. While it was a massive undertaking, I wanted to have my hands in every inch of this production and being able to do so was a once in a lifetime experience. It wasn’t until the couple of weeks leading up to the performances that I started contemplating “… I think I might be fucking crazy.” Jury’s still out.

It was an absolute honor to work with and share the stage with a truly humbling level of talent; many of whom are my closest friends and many I made along the way. I am forever grateful to you. Thank you for answering my casting call and building this beautiful show with me.

Special thanks to our fabulous maestro @aidanswells. “Send in the clowns. Literally don’t fucking bother, we’re here.” I couldn’t have done it without you.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you to those who donated and to everyone that helped sell out all 3 of our shows! This was one of the most special experiences I will have in my life and it meant so much for you to be there.

And to my dear Natasha— thank you for being patient with me. While I was busy booking spaces, making schedules, bending light and space itself to be able to rent some goddamn microphones, and directing everyone else but you, you waited for me and you were there when I was ready for you. You’re a curious, stubborn, dramatic, love drunk dreamer and it was one of the greatest pleasures to know you.

“I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you.” 🌙 2.27.26-2.28.26

I’d always been more on the singing side of musical theatre and wanted an environment to build my dance skills.

In rehearsal I am… Body rolling always

Favorite artist to dance to… ABBA

I’m doing my big one. This show has been one of the great loves of my life ever since I saw it nearly 10 years ago and now I’m producing, directing, music directing, and starring in this fantastical work of art. Whether you’re already a lover of the show or you’ve never heard of it in your life, come see our incredible cast for an evening of merriment, laughter, lust, betrayal, hope, and lots of vodka. If there’s anything you ever see me do, it’s this 💫
