Well, He also gave me memory so that I may forever remember how incredible this show was. The songs I got to sing, the characters I got to play, and, most importantly, the people I got the pleasure of meeting. The absolute talent and ability to put on a show of this scale in just two weeks is something unrivaled by any program or company I’ve ever worked with. I can’t believe I only ever did one show with @mrs.zpas , but man, am I glad I got that one. I had an amazing experience. I truly love everyone in the cast, and I am deeply honored that I got to act alongside each and every one of them, including my own brother, Mayer.
I will treasure this show forever, and if anyone ever asks if I enjoyed it, I’ll respond with, “Quite, yes.”

you can fly!!! 🧚🏻💫☁️

my heart is absolutely full with pure joy for the past 8 shows with @mrs.zpas. when i first started musical theater, i viewed it as a way to dance more on stage, but then i realized how much i truly enjoyed singing & acting.

to @cami_zimm, thank you for seeing the potential in me and for always pushing me to be my very best. you not only gave me the confidence to perform, but the confidence that i needed everyday in my life.

even though this may be the end of my musical theater chapter, i will forever cherish the many friendships and memories that these years have given me. theater has taught me that the most meaningful moments aren’t always under the spotlight, they’re in the long rehearsals, the craziness & laughter backstage, the little acts of kindness, and the beautiful friendships that will impact you forever. xoxo 💝🌟

FINDING NEVERLAND

I don’t think there are enough words to describe what this show, or these people, mean to me.

Ten years ago, I walked into Mrs. Z’s performing arts studio not knowing I was stepping into one of the greatest blessings of my life. Since then, this cast has become so much more than people I perform with. We’ve watched each other grow, celebrated the highs, carried each other through the lows, and built something that has always felt like home.

Finding Neverland felt different. Maybe because it’s a story about believing in magic and learning that even the most beautiful chapters must end. Or maybe because I knew it would be the last time I’d share the stage with some of the people who made this place feel like home.

To the seniors—thank you. For every rehearsal, every laugh backstage, every hug on hard days, every word of encouragement, and every memory you’ve given me. You led with kindness and showed me what it means to love this art and the people beside you. Watching your final bow was one of the most beautiful and heartbreaking moments I’ve ever experienced.

Theater has taught me that the people are always the story. Long after the applause fades, I’ll remember the laughter, the tears, the early morning rehearsals, the hugs backstage, and the feeling of knowing I was exactly where I was meant to be.

To everyone who brought Finding Neverland to life—thank you for giving me a place to belong. For reminding me that I’ll always have a special place in the studio, and for the shared dreams, shared stages, and shared hearts.

This may be the final performance, but it will never be the end of what we’ve built.

I’ll miss this cast more than words can say. I love you all. Forever grateful for the magic we made together. 🧚✨🦋🩵

Finding Neverland was a DREAM, and i couldn’t have picked better people to finish this chapter in my life with. from countless shows, and all the friendships, these people taught me why i love doing theatre. @cami_zimm, thank you and your studio for being a place of joy these past 8 years ❣️❣️
