Loser Geek Whatever - Be More Chill 👾 @skylineartsjc @arthouseproductions #musicaltheatre #theatre

I feel like sometimes the world demands a spectacle out of us. And that sense has us feeling that we have to be more just to be seen, which is what makes Be More Chill feel so real to me. Especially for how terrifying it can be to feel like you don’t matter. Playing Jeremy Heere made me sit with that, and it gave me something I don’t think I expected. He helped me recognize that it’s okay to be vulnerable. Sometimes, we’re going to sit through awkward pauses, and we’re going to say the wrong things, and we’re going to live in discomfort and have to face truths we don’t want to face. But in the end, none of that is anything we need to fix. It’s what makes us worth seeing in the first place. I’ll be carrying this story with me for a very long time. Thank you @aintnoheroes and @charlymv for the photos! Also sending out a massive thanks to @skylineartsjc and my cast for such a fantastic set of shows. I miss this one a ton.

So special getting to live in Urinetown twice…Two productions, only two weeks apart, and each one its own kind of magic. 💛 Grateful to do this one with @skylineartsjc and to step into Hope this time. She’s all heart and optimism, believing change is possible even when the world says it isn’t. Beautiful stories, beautiful people, and a reminder that hope really can lead the way. I love this show from head to toe, strange and brilliant in every way.

About a month ago, I had the amazing opportunity to play Hot Blades Harriet in an Off-Broadway production of Urinetown with @aclassactny . It was an incredible experience and I’m so grateful for having such a loving cast and teaching artists.

That’s all folks, no time at all left on the clock. We’ve got magic to do, but for now…we rest. I’m so thankful for having the opportunity to be a part of this show. It was truly extraordinary. No more razzle dazzle, just grateful hearts and tired feet. Thank you to the Pippin cast, @skylineartsjc , and @arthouseproductions for four amazing shows. 💙❤️ (Ok now count the Pippin references)

In 2024, I had the INCREDIBLE opportunity to play Davey in “Newsies” and Ariel in “Footloose” with @skylineartsjc , Wednesday in “The Addams Family” with @wingspanarts , and Hunyak in “Chicago” with @aclassactny . I had such an amazing time performing in all of these shows, and I’m so grateful. What an unforgettable year for theater! ❤️❤️❤️ #musicaltheatre #2024

Just wrapped up an unforgettable experience performing in Chicago with @aclassactny !! I’m so grateful to have worked with such an amazing cast and incredible directors who made this journey so inspiring. It was such a privilege to be part of such a phenomenal show alongside such talented performers. Bringing “Katalin Hunyak” to life was definitely a unique challenge. Learning a bit of Hungarian and diving deep into her story pushed me as a performer in the best possible way. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to tell her story. Thank you to everyone who shared so much support along the way! I had an absolute blast! ❤️ #chicagomusical #chicago #theater #closing

Being part of The Addams Family musical was an incredible experience that truly pushed me to grow as a performer and as a person. From the first rehearsal to the final curtain, I gained and learned so much. I’m incredibly thankful to have worked with such a talented and supportive cast, crew, and directors who made every moment on the stage special. Thanks to all @wingspanarts for making this journey so rewarding! It is unforgettable. #addamsfamily #musicaltheatre #musical #nyc #newyorkcity #wingspanarts 🕷️🏹🪦❤️
