godspell (2025)

naughty disciple boy toy, amazing ginormous woman—queens always do both 🩷
i like… am sad. HAAAAA! i miss everyone, and i know they miss me of course. HAAAAAAAAA!!! only thanks to @mattsilar and @musictheaterworks for seeing something in this project that would allow for someone like me to add their own flavor. a dream song i never thought i’d get to perform? a group of the most talented artists one could know? fine! i’m literally so in. god saved the people, and i lové that for them, but godspell saved me and i LOVÉ that for me. ☕️ taken in North Shore Center for the Performing Arts in Skokie by @thenicholasian

diana (2025)

being british then welsh then colin then paparazzi then party guest then saloon girl then officer then hospitalized was crazy talk. and i’d be them all again! 🩵
this show will forever be unlike any other process i’ll be a part of. the loss of a director demands you become aware of the people you’ve otherwise gained in your life. and thank god they were all the bestest of people. a show that became an ode to more than one legend—and how lucky am i to have been one hand of many to carry the torch in their honor. for fred. 💍 taken in Theo Ubique Cabaret Theatre by @thenicholasian

the secret garden (2024)

honestly, thank god @joryhebelginorio found the key to this place, because after 10 years, i really needed to come back here. ❤️
what a special time to have worked with so many new amazing faces, reconnect with familiar ones, and have the chance to be with albert again (first hangout since high school!!). this show deserves the tender care that was given to it by the most wondrous, caring, and considerate creative team. i couldn’t imagine a garden party could go any better than the one at @theoubiquecabaret and i’m so thankful to have gotten an invite. 🌹 taken in Theo Ubique Cabaret Theatre by @thenicholasian

on the twentieth century (2024)

the train finally reached the station. NOOO! @laura.ann.sport you can’t let everyone off. not til i hug them. 💙
just wow. it took our whole little train team to get that engine chuggin’. and what other team would do it so effortlessly. i learned so much through this group of people — by observing them, asking them, and being with them! only the biggest thank you to @blanktheatrecompany for having me Porter this house down the tracks. any of you ever need a suitcase moved or danced on, you call me. 🚂
