I’M IN A PLAY!! 😅❣️
June 21st | 5PM
Father’s Day
Stepping into my most serious role yet… and it’s stretching me out in amazing ways! (Pause) 😅
We talkin’ technique, delivery, backstory, movement The full actor’s gym. 🎭
This one got some weight to it. This one got some heavy heart on it!
I’d truly love your presence in the room as we bring “Echoes of a Father” to life alongside an incredible cast.
Pull up. Feel something. Witness the work.
