Tonight, we honor what we lost, but we also commemorate what we found. 

Celebrating an awesome regional debut! Thank you @vastage for an experience I’ll never forget, and @annalisesison for braving through the madness with me. This show will always have a special place in my heart, and I’ll forever live with the motif of “You are here” ringing in the back of my head. Farewell, Gander. You’ve served me well. Till next time 💙💛

i got to be a space princess btw.

what an amazing way to start my college experience. “A Wrinkle in Time” was such a fun challenge for me, understudying a character completely outside of my type cast. the cast and crew of this show have been nothing but a joy to be around and i’m so glad i made the friends i did by working on it, if there’s one thing the show has taught me it’s to keep playing pretend, there’s childlike wonder in everything around the world.

Maryland All County Thespian Troupe’s “A Chorus Line” 

“Well what are you gonna be?”

I’ve struggled to figure out how I wanted to do this post but since everyone else has already done theirs i guess it’s my turn 

A Chorus Line has helped me tremendously as a performer. Before this production i truly struggled to find my place in theater, i didn’t know if i wanted to continue doing this for the rest of my life, but through Mr. Ben’s direction and the endless support from the cast and crew, i’ve realized that this is absolutely what i want to do. Playing Richie was a blessing and a curse, i was able to find myself but had to throw out my vocal chords at the same time 😭

and a special message to the line: You guys are my family. I wouldn’t have traded our time on stage together for anything. You all are such amazing people full of love and energy, i cannot wait to see what you do in the future. please carry the lessons we’ve learned from these characters and their hardships with you for the rest of your life. continue to pour your hearts out on stage, and please remember each and every single one of you are special. taken in The Line by @reneescomet
