spent a summer in the woods 🌹🎭

It’s not often that I’m in a production where I can say that I’ve loved working with every single person who was a part of it, but I can very surely say that now. It has been an incredible process creating this show, and even more incredible watching it come to life.

Something particularly special about this production has been the music. I was given the creative freedom to incorporate my own music into the production, and ended up writing three full numbers along with other themes/scoring.

So, thank you to everyone for trusting a 15 year old as your music director. 🎶

It is truly an indescribable feeling watching such immensely talented artists perform your songs-and even more so, hearing them sing and enjoy them off-stage. On top of that, knowing that hundreds of strangers have also heard and sung your music is something I will not take for granted. I just feel so lucky. Huge thanks to all of the cast members for being so flexible, patient, and supportive. Endless gratitude to @larafilipmusic and @emilyannbrooks for the opportunity and help throughout the process. I cannot WAIT to be back in the woods!! 🫶✨

And though she be but little, she is FIERCE (rawr)

Been waiting for this one since I was 13!! (Not an exaggeration) Playing Hermia in A Midsummer Night’s Dream in the woods was everything I wanted it to be and more. This was the first play I ever did, and I love how it keeps showing up through so many seasons of my life.

So much love to @emilyannbrooks and @grace.burm for their brilliant and joyful direction, to @audreyeclair for letting me wear these amazing bloomers, and to my beautiful and hilarious cast 🩷 Little Emily, who fell in love with this role and this show in 2009, is so happy to be playing pretend in the forest. Lord, what fools these mortals be!

One Year Ago, I set sail on @chicagokidscompany production of PETER PAN, and this past weekend, we closed this special production. The experience of this show will always hold a special place in my heart. Thank you to Jesus, Paige, Amy, and the cast and crew of this production for trusting me to originate Captain Hook for the company. Until we meet again, Neverland🏴‍☠️
