First S/O to the fact that I recorded this while on vacation with a hotel lamp and recorded myself on my sonās iPad and read back against myself as my own scene partner.
Second CELEBRATE your victories. Big and small. Even if itās not making it to set. I got a last minute avail check bc the actress selected had a conflict and I was next on the list.
Ultimately the actress worked out her schedule, but I was READY! and overjoyed that my work was trusted enough that I was being considered. THAT IS A WIN!
Big Ups to the talent that booked It was Yours! Iām going to enjoy watching the episode and seeing it all play out. I love doing that research after an audition if the opportunity presents itself.
On to the next š
Happy Motherās Day!
I had the privilege of being asked to come backstage to my old stomping grounds to photograph the incredible Moms of @bwaygoeswrong as they prepared for a two show day with their kids.
Here are some of my favorites.
Super Moms by day, our stars by night ā @jo.knee and @lauradandre do it all. Wishing all Moms a joyful and relaxing Motherās Day weekend. Nothing would go right without you ā„ļø #BwayGoesWrong

#happyworldtheatredayš To this day one of my favorite memories.
I had the opportunity to work on a production of Bring It On @redhousearts in which professional adult actors were paired with youth performers, serving as mentors throughout the process. As a former competitive cheerleader, this experience felt especially natural and rewarding for me.
During our invited dress rehearsal, the final pyramid unfortunately did not hit as planned. Rather than stopping, we adapted in the moment and kept the performance moving forward. It turned into a lighthearted and memorable lesson in āthe show must go on.ā
I was incredibly proud of the young performers for their resilience and commitment, and lacing up my cheer shoes again for the first time in 5 yearsš¤Ŗ
Hear how @jo.knee has always found herself reflected in the greats ā from Gregory Hines to Danielle Deadwyler ā and stands on the shoulders of every Black creative who came before her. This Black History Month and always, #BwayGoesWrong is honored to celebrate her brilliance on stage. š
This Black History Month, #BwayGoesWrong is highlighting our very own @jo.knee who plays Annie. Black performers belong on every stage, including those built for pure physical comedy and farce, and we are grateful we get to share her talent with audiences who come from near and far.
And 1 year and 4 days later you were bornš„°
Today is your birthday, and my heart is so full. I am endlessly proud of the woman you are and deeply inspired by the way you keep pushing forwardādreaming bigger, creating boldly, and expanding into new ideas with so much courage and grace.
My forever confidant!! My calm during my stormsš
I love you beyond words, and I hope today felt like a beautiful manifestation of a year truly lived. Cheers to your next rotation around the sun.
Youāre only just getting started!!!
Happy Happy Birthdayā¦MUAH!!!!Irg
