CHANTICLEERS 2026 🫶⭐️
@weathervaneplay
Weathervane has truly become a second home to me. It is an honor to be awarded top volunteer of the 2025-2026 season. There is unlimited opportunities, education, and experience and I have been to experience all of that this past season. Almost 700 hundreds hour later, and I still love coming back to this theater that has done an exceptional job making it a place of comfort, good attitude, community, passion for something everyone loves! I want to thank the Weathervane staff, volunteers, and patrons for all of their hard work and for supporting the arts. I want to them all of my friends and family for always supporting and loving me unconditionally through all of my endeavors. Congratulations on another fantastic season. Thank you all!

Between weeks Godspell post!

It's difficult to articulate how much this production means to me. I have spent the last several years of my theatre life hiding in the shadows of the wings. I have (happily!) taken every opportunity to stage manage, crew, and volunteer for a wide variety of shows at the theatres I call home. As fulfilling as that is, I have felt the lack of the type of bond formed among an amazing cast working together to create a great show.

In the cast and process of Godspell at WRP, I have found the fondest realization of that dream. In putting together a show about building a community, we have built a community. I have grown closer to existing friends, made new friends, exercised skills that have lain dormant or incubating for years, and rebuilt my confidence as a performer.

Special thanks to @realsupernina for recruiting me and @emma.figge for directing, and all of my endless well of love for everyone in the cast and creative/production team.

If you haven't seen the show yet (especially if you bothered to read this far), come see us! One juice 4-show weekend left. Tickets here: https://bit.ly/godspellwrp.

Thanks to @augie.man and @braelinand for the pictures.

🌟 opening weekend is in the books!!! 🌟

I heard about @westernreserveplayhouse from my fiancee, and seeing him light up the stage made me want to try to get back into theater. I'm so glad I made that decision! Even with busy nights, long commutes to and from work, home, and the barn, and my constantly forgetting to stretch biting me - it's been beyond amazing to create theater with such Lovely lovely people!

I spent a long time apart from faith. My church upbringing was loving, but the world of organized religion around it was full of snobbery, pretension, and worst of all - proud, open bigotry. Not what Jesus would want, at all.

To borrow @laurenstepanski 's words, doing this has felt like coming home! For me, it's a great way to get in touch with the stories and scriptures that have brought me peace again in these recent years.

I'm so so thankful to my loved ones who supported me as I rushed around, stressed over choreo, and who came to see me perform! I love you all so much.

Godspell is such a special show -- not afraid to be unrepentantly irreverent one minute and unspeakably emotional the next. I'm excited for this upcoming final weekend of theater and joy- and hope you come see it.

Also I crawl around and pretend to be a sheep.

Godspell!🌈

This show felt like coming home in so many ways. It healed parts of my heart that I didn’t even know needed healing. A story that reflects the power behind true, radical, and unconditional love of thy neighbor. Without an ounce of judgement.

We live in a world where faith is weaponized against us, causing us to grow more hateful and isolated with each passing day.

As a lifelong Catholic, I reject the notion of using Christ’s teachings for hateful purposes. I choose love, compassion, and community.

Come sing about love @westernreserveplayhouse 💟
Running thru July 26th. Ticket link in my bio! 🎟️

WORLD THEATER DAY! 🎶👑
This has been a special part in my life for as long as I can remember and I couldn’t be more grateful to be apart of this wonderful community and industry. I am beyond thankful for every relationship, experience, support, encouragement, and learning path the theater has brought me too. I am excited to see what holds in the future but I am equally as grateful for the experiences from this industry that have shaped me into the individual I am today! Happy world theater day 2026! #worldtheatreday

To this day, my first time seeing Come From Away was maybe the most impactful theater viewing experience I’ve ever had. And to actually get to be a part of telling this story, words cannot describe how thankful I am for being given this opportunity.

Rarely in life do you get to experience something so beautiful, so powerful, and so healing that it seems too good to be true. I am unspeakably grateful to have gotten to experience that with this production. I will treasure every single person involved with this show, and every memory we made for the rest of my life.

And to Nick and Doug, thank you for letting me tell your story. I can only hope I did it justice. It was an honor every step of the way.
