We closed our joyful production of YOU CAN’T TAKE IT WITH YOU at @hipptheatre last weekend!

It was my honor to work on this Pulitzer Prize-winning play under the thoughtful direction of @bistrowen, and to share the stage with this tremendous group of generous, talented artists. Thank you to Evans Haile and everyone at the Hippodrome for a fabulous run!

A truly life changing show, and a life changing summer at the @drphillipsctr

MY VERY FIRST PROFESSIONAL JOB!! I’m certain that 15 years into my career I’ll look back on this experience as one of the most formative.

This show resonates with audiences in quite a rare and unique way. Every single performance created a synergy with the audience, and I felt the impact of this material course through the entire theatre. We laughed together (mostly when I pulled out the Apple pipe), cried together, and were ultimately moved together. The love shown for this specific production was off the charts, and I’m grateful to everyone that came, or had kind things to say.

I give my OVERWHELMING gratitude to @ryanmichaelsimpson and the entire education team for giving me this once in a lifetime opportunity!!

To @michaeldjablonski - thank you for directing us with so much care and love. The heart of this piece was palpable.
To @joshianm - you were exceptional to watch on stage, but even more exceptional to be mentored by off of it.
To my intern cohort - @eyyitsjax @connor_deroche @lyndifloyd @ariflorespr @emmacatedavis - thanks for being an incredible team to learn, create, and lead alongside all summer. All the inside jokes, LONG DAYS, board game nights, escape rooms, and impromptu jam sessions will be remembered forever.
And to @connor_deroche - my brother, my best friend - I cannot even begin to say how proud I am of the professional and human you are.

Again, to the entire DPC team, in every department, thank you for the warmth, the mentorship, and for showing me what a sustainable, joyful career in this industry can look like.

I feel insanely blessed to be here. My heart is full.

“The price of love is loss, but still we pay. We love anyway.”

Final send off for Natalie and the Dr. Phillips Center. 🤍⭐️

I always wondered when I would get the chance to truly showcase my love for what I do, and I am eternally grateful for this opportunity. To have been chosen to represent the Dr. Phillips Center has been a blessing and a challenge to push myself out of my comfort zone, whether it was teaching children or rehearsal for such an iconic show.

Thank you to everyone from the bottom of my heart, to the team at education and for my intern squad. Couldn’t have done this without every single person involved.

Shoutout to the amazing team:
