“For a moment… I’m beautiful again.”💙
DEAR WORLD at Nebraska Wesleyan University

Honored is an understatement. I’ve dreamt of being where I am now, performing in such an important and impactful role, for all of my life. Countess Aurelia is ingrained in who I am and I couldn’t be more thankful to have shared her view on life with audiences every night. This cast is overwhelmingly talented and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for every one of them- I am so proud of the work we’ve done to bring this show to life, and it will stay with me forever.
