“Oh, what a curious dream I’ve had,” Alice said.

My heart is so full as I type all of this out. Alice By Heart has been a dream of mine for nearly 5 years. I’ve never been part of a show like this before. With a cast who all care so deeply for the material and for each other. A director with such a clear vision and story that she wants to tell. A choreographer who understands the importance of every move onstage. A technical team who understands how to make something like Wonderland feel real and feel lived in. Losing someone so dear to me right as I was beginning to start this production scared me for so many different reasons but this team did not ever make me go through it alone. Thank you for allowing me to heal and for being there with me every step of the way. Thank you guys, I love you always.

To my “Dear, oh dear, white rabbit”- @samevenson13 , thank you for being the best scene partner. Thank you for listening. Thank you for literally letting me cry on you every night. Thank you for every hand hold and every hug on and offstage and for helping me through this show. I truly cannot ever tell you how much you mean to me and how deeply I love and adore you.
