Reflecting on what has been (another) massive day of mahi today. Feeling very blessed to be working across these three iconic venues for my various contracts at the moment ☺️ and tomorrow I’ll be sending the Smilestuff boys up to Auckland (by themselves 🥹) to perform at another iconic venue 😂 I’m juggling the most I’ve ever juggled before but so far, so good. I’m really proud of myself and I’m really grateful to the incredible people I work with who support me to do what I do 🥲💖
New Zealand Fringe Festival 2022! 🙌
Some would say the best fringe yet! (and by some, I mean me 🤪) I had an absolute blast producing not one, but TWO solo shows for these two cuties 💥🥰 I’m both shocked and stoked that we made it through without any (major) Covid disruptions! 🥵🤞🍀 Amazing! How good!? Next up, a big long nap 😴

⚡️LIFE UPDATE INCOMING!! ⚡️
Hey, you! Long time no see!! ☺️
I just wanted to give a bit of an update about some of the exciting things happening in my life at the moment.
Some of you will already know but I’ve got some big changes coming up. Yesterday I told my boss that I’m quitting my job to go follow my theatre dreams! 😱🤩 At the end of this month, I’ll be flying down to Timaru to start rehearsals for the 2021 touring season of Too Much Punch for Judy where I’ll be working as the tour manager, tech operator, stage manager, van driver, and jack-of-all-trades! 🎭
I’m so so excited for this tour, it’s going to be such an amazing experience and I can’t wait to learn and be challenged and share this awesome message with high school students across the South Island. Prea, Kate, Kimble, and I have already been working really hard behind the scenes on all of the admin that goes into putting on a tour and I can’t wait to get on the road and see all the hard work pay off!
But before we can get this show on the road (quite literally 🚗), we need your help.
It takes a lot to put on a theatre show, but it takes a lot more to tour a theatre show around the country for three months! Today we launched this Boosted campaign which, with your help, will raise a portion of the funds needed to make this dream a reality. 🤩😍
For those of you who don’t know, Boosted works on an all or nothing basis so if we don’t hit the target, everyone gets their money back including our generous match donor who has agreed to match your donations dollar-for-dollar up to $1,500. So any little bit you can contribute is hugely appreciated!
Check out the link in my bio (even if it is just to find out a bit more about the tour) and please do reach out if you wanna know more - I could literally talk for hours about this project 😂 Any and all support is HUGELY appreciated and I can’t wait to share more about this in the coming weeks. Watch this space!! 🎭🥳✨💗
