It’s tough to articulate when something you’ve been working on means so much to you and has brought you nothing but complete artistic fulfillment. It’s a feeling you get from that experience that can’t be put into words. Torch Song gave me that experience.
Over a year and a half after first pitching this project, this show came and went in one electric weekend. In that weekend, I was surrounded by the most generous team, the loveliest cast, and friends and loved ones who saw me through it. You know who you are, and I thank you once again.
Thank you to @cauldronperformingarts and everyone who had a hand in making this show come to life. It’s been an honor.

I am very excited to announce that I will be performing in English for the very first time in my life! 😅 And super thrilled that it will be Mrs Beckoff in Harvey Fierstein’s fantastic play “Torch Song” with @cauldronperformingarts under the direction of @tiesjansen . We have five shows in Het Amsterdams Theaterhuis on March 27-29. Note: all actors have understudies so I will not be in the Saturday afternoon show at 14:00. The other shows (Friday 19:00, Saturday 19:00, Sunday 12:00 and 17:00) I will be there! Get your tickets and more info here: /torchsong or see the link in my bio. Looking forward to seeing you! 📷 @yellowchair.photography #theatre #torchsong #lgbtqia 🌈
