The next adventure: DRUNK SHAKESPEARE OFF-BROADWAY! 🎭🎉 Excited to announce that I have been cast in the NYC debut of Drunk Shakespeare: Romeo and Juliet!✨ I’m thankful everyday for this opportunity and have been having a blast in rehearsals! Do not miss this hilarious production! We open on June 4 🙌 @drunkshakespeare Ticket link in bio 🎟️ — Some sappy, yet necessary reflections: TLDR: Never give up. 💪 For those that know, this past year delivered some big career disappointments. I took major life chances that ultimately did not work out. I found myself unemployed, living back with my parents (thank you mom and dad ❤️) and really unsure what the next step would be. Some suggested, “do you want to try something other than acting?” … what 😐 Nah, not a bone in my body was ready for that. I’ve been auditioning professionally since high school and I still feel like I have so much left to experience. There is no better rush of joy than performing - the freedom on stage, the connection with an audience, the storytelling, the community, the building of an ensemble, etc. How could I deny what I know I was meant to do? So, I decided to lead with hope and just keep going. I immediately jumped back into auditioning, training, and saying “yes, and?” to every possibility.🥹 Just because one door closes, doesn’t mean another one will automatically open. YOU have to open the door. Energy is everything⚡️ I am grateful everyday to the Drunk Shakespeare team for bringing me onboard. I love this cast and crew ❤️ —— Some thank you’s: My family & friends - the best support system I could ask for ❤️ Sally Kingsford and Eric Elson✨ My coaches: Carter Gill, Will Van Moss, Harry Waller 📝 @carterpgill @willvanmoss @bardcity My agents at Stewart Talent 🎤 @stewarttalentnewyork My rockstar manager, Danny Estrada of Trillion Management 💫 @danny_estrada The three men who have changed my life in my pursuit of comedy: John Gwardyak, Matthew AJ Gregory, Christopher Bayes ❤️ @johngwardyak @matthew.a.gregory.1 @christopherbayes —— See you at The Ruby Theatre, starting June 4 👋❤️ 📸 @shanihadjianphotography
