O Beautiful

Fall Millard 2026

I can’t begin to express how grateful I am for this entire experience. I am forever changed by this show, this character, and by the people who did it with me.

Thank you so much to Kevin Ramsey and Christopher Rowe for their wonderful and brilliant direction and insight throughout the whole process. And of course eternally thankful for all my friends in the cast and crew. <3

“It makes me feel safe… to know you’re alright.”

This show has been the deepest emotional experience I’ve ever had onstage. Everyone in this production gave their all and made it feel real. Brian was such an important character to me, and I’m so thankful that I got to live as him for a short time. And an especially special thanks to Alexandra, my exceptional scene partner whom I couldn’t have done this whole show without.

“I bought a gun.”

DISCLAIMER: FAKE WEAPON

“Somebody’s selling that?”

“It’s a pretty intimidating weapon, first time you see it.”

“This is new to her and me as well, me as well!”

“Sometimes you don’t need to know everything.”

“Things are happening, Linda!”

“You haven’t lost me.”

“In the name of the father, the son and the Holy Spirit…”

“If you just try a little bit every day it will get better. I promise.”

“Come on sweetheart, we have to go.”

“He’ll be okay.”

“He was my son too.”

“The American Town Hall!”

“I was so screwed up I couldn’t help him… so I wanted to help him now.”

“You bought that? That I lost? To Burr? Please.”

“Emotions. They make you forget things that really you should remember.”

“At night I tell myself that we are all together, through time, the dead and the living. That we share creation with our ghosts.”

“Only it’s not a surprise if you always do it.”

This whole production couldn’t have happened without the brilliant direction of @christopher.rowee and @iamkevinramsey. It never stops surprising me the brilliance of the talent that I am thankful to work with every day.

“Chunky monkey.”
