Super excited that myself and @midnightcircleproductions have been nominated for a design award in the @offwestendcom awards! 🏆for Immersive Picture of Dorian Gray IDEAS PRODUCTION: DESIGN Although I came up with the plan, vibe and sourced the materials with the help of Nick ❤️ We had the actors set dress the rooms that their characters would be spending the most time in, they also added their own personal touches which I think really made it. Also big shout out to @paraboliccrypt for lending us so much of their stuff too! You are the MVP'S 😘 #theatre #design #offies #offiesawards #immersivetheatre #ideas

Happy International Women’s Day Goblins & Ghouls! A very VERY special friend and huge support said this to me this morning and I can’t stop thinking about it: “If you can please buy something from a female owned business, fund a female arts project (👀), or save some money for yourself for the future. I genuinely think a big part of our freedom needs to be financial, let’s keep supporting one another in all the ways we can.” I’m obsessed with this! It’s so so so important to support one another and also support our own selves! Keep on supporting gorgeous, powerful, INDEPENDENT women! ✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 And I dunno… maybe check out our lil donation link 👆🏽🤭 if you’re feeling moved 😘 Happy Internstional Women’s Day 🖤 Beautiful snap by @rojwhitelockphotography
