POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

I had a CRAZY packed performance weekend but feeling super fulfilled by all of it. Last Thursday, I performed with @mariettatheatre for their 10 year (!!!) anniversary showcase and helped them announce their next amazing season. Then I had my Strand Ole Opry debut over at @strandmarietta singing some of my favorite Dolly songs. Thank you for these opportunities and for giving me chances to do what I love the most with some of the people I love most. Thank you for supporting these moments and sharing them with me. What a great way to ring in my birthday month. 🦋✨💕

Roughly 4 years ago I was going to audition for this show. I was still in high school, was completely tone deaf, and had barely auditioned for anything outside of school. I decided not to audition but told myself that I would get the chance again someday, and I would be more prepared when the time came.

Well the time came; and @zachstolz, @kt_bergs, @thealexself, @delaneycirce and beautiful cast & crew put their trust in me to play this (truly daunting) role. And even on my worst days when I still didn't think I was prepared, this team did not give up on me. My mentors did not give up on me. My friends did not give up on me. I'm so eternally thankful for you all.

It's impossible to put into words how grateful I am, how FORTUNATE I was to be apart of this production. We built something truly unforgettable and I am so incredibly proud of what we've accomplished. I'm honored that I got to work with and learn from such a talented, diverse, and passionate group. From the new friends I've made to the actors I've looked up to for years, thank you, thank you, thank you🙏

To this show, this cast, this crew, this creative, the audiences who came out to support, we WILL meet again, and I will never let you go. 💜

Thank you so much to the incredible team and cast of Spring Awakening and letting me check this dream off my list.
Thank you to the Cast for letting me support their immense talents with these terrifying Men I played each night and for letting me be a goofball to balance the terror.
Thank you to @zachstolz for the trust to play in the sandbox of all these different characters so I could make people feel "Icky emotions" as I was told after several performances.
@kt_bergs, thank you for the music and directing our voices to another beautiful sound
@thealexself, thank you for giving us movements and dance that helped us express all our feelings during this show
@delaneycirce, thank you for taking such care with us as we worked on this beast and digging into those emotional and physical uncomfortable areas.
Thank you to every single person that helped make this show the dream I never thought I could be in.
And thank you to those that came and saw and experienced us.

Spring Awakening ✨💜 🦋 2026 @woodstockgaarts

This experience has been an absolute dream come true. I wasn’t sure if theatre would be in my path again — but wow has this show reignited my love for it. This show came at a perfect time in my life, and I can confidently say I’m not the same person as when I started the process. This show has brought back so much of my light, and I’ll be forever grateful for that.

To my castmates, thank you all from the bottom of my heart. You all are some of the most kind, hard-working, talented, supportive, and just all around incredible people I’ve ever met, and this experience wouldn’t have been what it was without you. I’m so grateful for each and every one of you, and for the little family we have created. I WILL see you guys soon!!!

To Zach, Katie, Delaney, Alex, Charlie, and the rest of the creative team - thank you for allowing me the opportunity of a lifetime and for making this one of the best theatre experiences (and summers) I’ve ever had. Thank you for guiding us through this material with such immense grace, vulnerability, and care. You all are truly the best of the best.

Rumors are true. I did indeed look nasty in those khakis.

Spring Awakening at @woodstockgaarts was such an important show for me. These people and process has taught me so much about myself from truly every standpoint. I can’t believe I was so lucky to be with a group so close as this one!

To this amazing cast- I love you all so, so very much. Every day getting to work with you was a good one! Thank you for making me feel so special and loved, and I do hope you all felt the same :)

A very special thanks to @zachstolz, @kt_bergs, @thealexself, @delaneycirce and more for creating such a wonderful environment I couldn’t wait to go back to everyday. You all are so so so amazing, and I can’t wait to work together again. I will FOREVER be thankful for what you created!!!

Now, let’s do it again next purple summer???
