so much i could say, but i’ll leave it at this: getting to do a show (especially a dream show since 2013!)—and getting to experience life—with some of the best, kindest, most creative people in the world is indeed one of the best things in the world.

many, many thanks to all involved, particularly the mastermind @kat.d.abdallah who decided that i’d be a good person to have along (even with my brain running massive interference). love y’all so very much that i’m not sure i can put it fully into words 🥹

talk again soon, love you, now we are all free to the elements 🫶

p.s. photo credits are too many to name, but the official promo photos were taken by @corbett_dalton and @lyricbambi made the most stunning costumes EVER

finally checking “roped enough people into actually making one of those pass the phone behind the scenes videos i really love” off my bucket list ✅

anyway you have ONE MORE CHANCE (today at 2 pm!) to see this group of wacky characters and dear friends make some shakespearean storm magic ⛈️🧚‍♀️

talk again soon, love you, have a little fairy magic for the road 🫶✨

today i’m twenty-three.

“twenty-three years old and nothing done for immortality!”, goes a line from friedrich schiller’s don carlos, and i’d be lying if i said it *wasn’t* the first thing to come to mind when asked how i feel about turning twenty-three.

but i’m twenty-three and trying, and it’s together with a lot of the best people in the world, and i’m so incredibly thankful for all of you today and each and every day.

so cheers to another year, let’s hope this one’s brighter 🥂💐

talk again soon, love y’all so much, thanks for the love 🫶

happy world theatre day (except i’m one day late lol)

onstage or behind the scenes or just helping or hanging around, whatever medium, i love telling stories and being human and exploring and expressing the worst and best and deepest of me and of all of us. especially with some of the coolest people ever. from elementary school to now, through musicals and plays and opera and improv and volunteering and getting myself roped into demonstrations, i love this and i love y’all 🫶

no hat (or, if you swipe, decorative candle) ever had any truer words about me: here’s the winter ‘25-‘26 dump, or “(mostly) things that kept me from totally losing my mind when that felt like the obvious option because oh my lord i am literally just a problem”.

thanks for every little thing—kind word or creative experience or scrap of natural wonder—that keeps making life just a little bit more worth living, especially in these dark days. here’s to hopes of brighter days ahead, à la the last picture ☀️

talk again soon, love you 🫶
