Here are some updates about what I've been up to lately
Proud to announce I’ve completed my certification to teach for Barre3, so if you’re in the area, come check out my class at one of our three New Orleans studios!
If you’ve started to notice a new name in my submissions — it’s because November 12, 2022, I picked one up. Last fall, I married the man who chased me from New Orleans to New York, to Maine, Alaska, and back again. I’m based out of New Orleans now, but by no means am I done with New York or with performing. I’m looking forward to navigating auditioning from Louisiana and continuing to travel wherever my work continues to take me.
In November of 2019, I headed to Miami to begin rehearsals for Grease (Marty, 1st cover Sandy and Rizzo), and Columbus the Musical with Royal Caribbean. We boarded the Harmony of the Seas on February 23, 2020, and would promptly be sent home exactly thirty days later, when the entire world officially shut down.
I was lucky enough to spend the summer of 2019 close to home for a production of Matilda at Tulane Summer Lyric.
New York Musical Festival Opening Night Party - I played Katarina Von Bora in NYMF's reading of Legacy, A Musical Indictment. We had a successful run and were awarded the Best of Fest Award as voted by patrons and audiences of the festival.
I’ve just come home from swinging Ogunquit Playhouse’s production of Jersey Boys. It's just too good to be true! The multi-Tony Award-winning, international sensation that took Broadway and the world by storm, makes its Northeast premiere at the Ogunquit Playhouse. Jersey Boys takes audiences on an exhilarating journey behind the music of mega-stars Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons.
Bookending the pandemic with cruise contracts, I left from Louisiana to play Nicola in the Norwegian Encore’s Production of Kinky Boots. I won’t soon forget navigating being one of the first ships back out sailing again, and the challenges and triumphs that came along with that experience.
Over the Pandemic, I took the opportunity to go back to school. By the end of 2023, I will graduate with a Masters in Arts Administration from the University of Kentucky.
Since joining the USO Show Troupe in 2018, I’ve had the opportunity to travel the world performing for actively serving military, their families, and USO supporters. Pictured above was a Fourth of July performance in South Korea, where we visited the Osan, Daegu, and Humphreys Bases. Other highlights include being part of the creation of an original show celebrating the USO’s history and current work; spending the night performing on an aircraft carrier as it sailed into port for New York City’s fleet week, and spending a Thanksgiving at Camp Devil Dog in North Carolina, with those in boot camp who couldn’t go home for the holiday.
This May, I had the opportunity to play Wendy Daring in the New York Theatre Barn workshop of Doug Lyons and Michael Thurber’s Pete(Her)Pan. Here is a video of our closer for the workshop "AYO!" feat. Zoe Jensen & Company. Book: Melvin Tunstall II; Music: Michael Thurber, Douglas Lyons; Lyrics: Douglas Lyons.
I was part of a production of Carner and Gregor’s Island Song at the Davenport Theatre Loft. Here’s a collection of Highlights from my performance as Jordan
I was featured as one of the four orchestral voices in The Transport Group’s Promises, Promises: In Concert June 25, 2018 @ Merkin Hall Music Direction by Joey Chancey Conceived and Directed by Jack Cummings III. Here are highlights from that fantastic night.
