I most recently had the pleasure of stage managing @newstudioonbway@nyutisch ‘s production of Mean Girls! This production of one of my favorite contemporary musicals was fresh, exciting, deep, exploratory, and gifting at every turn.

we’re back december 1st-6th at the flea theater. come see us!!
one month ago today i moved to what the Schuyler sisters (by way of Lin Manuel-Miranda) called “the greatest city in the world”. And so far, I tend to agree.
In this month, I have laughed louder, smiled wider, and cried harder than I ever have. I have made great new friends, deepened existing bonds, experienced immense gratitude, and profoundly missed those I left in other places. I have ran through crowds of tourists and raging fire hydrants, marched for liberation, and seen more theatre than I could ever dream of. Mostly, I’ve fallen in love with this city, my new home, and I can feel my dreams coming true.
Long captions aren’t normally my thing, (This was just gonna say “3 bucks, 2 bags, 1 me”) but I wanted to tell you that I love it here. I’m living my fullest life. If you’re reading this, I love you. And I can’t wait for what’s next.
