SHOW ANNOUNCEMENTS: Jekyll & Hyde and more!

Happy spring, y’all! 🌸 I can’t understate how excited I am to have not one, but TWO show announcements for you. (And a third coming soon – so make sure you’re subscribed to these updates if you aren’t already!)

FIRST – This June, for ONE WEEKEND ONLY, I will be playing LUCY in Gretna Theatre’s concert production of Jekyll & Hyde! This show is in collaboration with the Hershey Symphony Orchestra and I simply cannot wait to be back in the Lancaster area singing with these two lovely organizations.
Last spring I had a lovely and idyllic life in the Prima Theatre cast housing during Murder Ballad, and returning to Pennsylvania next month totally feels like going back to summer camp for me. And especially after workshopping the new musical this old haunt in the deep woods of Fort Salem NY last July, I’m definitely trying to make a habit of summer camp-esque contracts. I feel so lucky! 🥳

SECOND – Much sooner than J&H, I’m proud to be singing THIS MONDAY at a fundraiser concert celebrating my friend SMJ! This Monday, The Fled Collective is hosting a fundraiser for their upcoming production of SMJ’s play SWAY. The show will feature scenes from several of their plays and songs from some of their musicals. I’ll be singing from both the aforementioned this old haunt and At The Barre, which was just performed at Manhattan’s Green Room 42 last weekend.
SMJ is both a kick-ass playwright and an extremely supportive friend, and I’m fortunate to have found myself in the intersection of these two traits of theirs; over the past 2 years they have facilitated more creative fulfillment and work for me than any other person or org combined. Come uptown to Bird in Hand on Monday and witness what we in their orbit have lovingly deemed The Multiverse of SMJ.

That’s all for now, but again – more coming soon! I’m very fortunate to have these things to share with you, and to have you all to share it with. Hope to see you at a show very soon. Until then, enjoy the spring! 🌸💐 (oh and STREAM COUCH!)
