"It's Olive Oil"

You'll always remember the first one. I've had the absolute honor to play Leo in NCT's production of a Big Love! He's my first role here in NCT and one of my more recent roles in memory. It was when I decided to shed my fears, and all my worrying and just decided to go for it, and honestly, I'm grateful I did. This experience has been an absolute fun one, and I built so many amazing friendships from this show. The late nights hanging out, the karaokes, all the food runs, the drinks, the laughter, the sadness. Everything was just special to me because it was the first time in a long time I was doing this.

I'm forever honored because I got to work with some absolutely amazing people, and share the space and share the room with such talented, friendly, and kind individuals. I've learned a lot and I've picked up a lot of good tools for the future, as well as some amazing connections. I'm grateful to have made such amazing friends and I cannot wait to continue hanging out, and working, and learning with these people.

I think most of all though with Big Love, is that it showed me that I can do it. I can still act, and I can still hang with everyone else, I'm not washed and I just gotta put in that work to improve, and keep on going and working. It definitely took a fair bit out of me, but I'll keep pushing, and keep working.

To all my friends, family, and everyone else, thank you. Thank you for making this first show of mine one of the best, and for showing such support. To Kirsten, thank you for taking a chance on me. I'm glad to show you I was a worthwhile investment and I can't wait to work more in the future with this theatre. Thank you to my mom and my dad for being there for me during the late nights, the tough nights, and all the nights where I was just dead tired. I do apologize for getting sappy, it's just this show means a lot to me, more than I've let on. I couldn't have done it without their support.

Just know, I'm not planning on this to be my last show. I'm gonna keep going, and I'm gonna keep trying, and working, and doing my best to be better not just for those who believe in me, but for myself.

Love y'all 💜 - GBL⭐

BIG LOVE ‼️👰‍♀️💒 💗

I was so fortunate to play the character of Olympia in NCT’s run of Big Love by Charles L. Mee. This was my first show in a long time and I had the absolute best time with the entire run of the show. Olympia was so much fun to play and brought me so much joy throughout this entire run through. I want to thank my amazing cast members for being such an incredible part of my experience, as well as our fantastic director @kikileebrandt , and the tech and crew that worked on making this such an incredible show. I will truly never forget this time I shared with you all and am overjoyed by the friendships and memories that I’ve made. I can finally let my bruises heal and let Olympia rest. Thank you Big Love, an experience I will seriously never forget. ❤️🥹

Ohh, The Importance of Being Earnest what a wonderful show you were to perform. It flew by so fast, those 3 weeks were filled with laughter, fun, love, and making new friends. Who knew you could become so close with people after only 3 weeks of rehearsals. I wish we had more time together, but I cherish every moment I got to spend with this cast and crew.

Cecily Cardew has easily become a new favorite character. I absolutely adore this delusional, adorable, sweet girl that I have felt so honored to play. Cecily will be with me forever, as I am her in almost every way. I love you all, thank you for making this experience so wonderful and amazing 🩵

im not sure any amount of flowery words or praises can quite sum up the experience shorts has been for me. nor do i think any of my words can do justice to the incredible cast who has become my family during shorts. i will forever be searching for the laughter and excuberant joy from shorts in every future show i get the chance of being in.

thank you all for the honor of sharing the stage with you, and the honor of telling these stories together. this has been one of the happiest times of my entire life. i love you all endlessly from the bottom of my heart.

little nicole would not believe me if i told her id get to be on stage, cheers to the dreamers.
