First Show

The Lion King! It was a surprise for my 10th birthday. I got to go backstage and see all of the puppets and everything, and stand on stage - it's what sparked my love for theatre.

Favorite Show

My top 3 would be Next to Normal, Spring Awakening, and Into the Woods! The recent Donmar Warehouse production of Next to Normal was next level (go watch it for free from Great Performances!) and the Deaf West production of Spring Awakening had such an incredible interpretation that brought the already meaningful material to a whole new level.

Favorite Stories

• STEREOPHONIC at DPAC - This is my very first article for BroadwayWorld! And my first time experiencing Broadway at DPAC. It was a really special night with a special kind of show. I was very proud that it earned a spot in BroadwayWorld's round-up of top news, reviews, and interviews from March 2026.
• RIDE THE CYCLONE at Theatre Raleigh ACT - The talent from these young performers was incredible. Their passion and dedication was really inspiring, the production amazing, and being in the audience brought me back to when I was in their shoes.
