I joined a basketball team!?!?!?🧡💙🧡💙

During this process I’ve been learning not to judge characters off of personal bias and ask: why are they like this? Why are they saying/doing this? Asking these questions is what really excited me about playing Cinesias—an interesting and flawed character that I wanted to try to understand. I had the best director, Emily Clark, and the best scene partner @aaliyanagarcia to help me figure out my path to this charater. Also thanks @drewdtremblay for always being there for me as my roomie and friend. I’m really proud of the work we all did and it will go down as one of the best show experiences I’ve ever been a part of.

See ya, Athens U!!! 🧡💙🧡💙

*I also got to meet @alexjwyse, the original Cinesias on Broadway… definitely a NYC pinch me moment☺️☺️*
