Yesterday I had the unique experience of covering a cover in the cover run of Hänsel und Gretel with 30 minutes notice! It was a fun challenge, who doesn’t love a last minute princess track😝 I’m so grateful to my Hänsel und Gretel family for a wonderful run :) Till next time Kansas!

Over the past four months, I’ve had the opportunity to work with @a.nothsa (vocalist), @kirancao (pianist), and @maddidsin (poet). This was a part of the Pen to Stage Project that was started by David Box, a collaborative event between the English, Composition, Vocal, and Collaborative Piano departments at Texas Tech University. The final product was a piece titled Seen not Sought. The full performance is on my YouTube—the link to which is in my bio.
