I Am A...

Fan, Stage Manager, Technician, Student

About Me:

I have loved broadway ever since I was a little girl. My first show was Cats, and I won't lie I hated it, but because of my mother's love for theatre she brought me back to see another show: AIDA. I was in love. Even at my young age I knew I wanted to be someone responsible for making the magic I saw on stage happen. Nowadays I am pursuing a career in Stage Management. I am just about to finish my freshman year at the University of Connecticut as a BA Theatre Studies major. I love my school because I get to work with a professional theatre company (Connecticut Repertory Theatre) and amazing equity actors and actresses!!! (We just finished Tommy with Laura Beth Wells, who will be in Broadways Spiderman and last year Stephanie Umoh of Ragtime was in our produciton of HAIR). Also working on developing shows before they move to bigger places (Abraham Lincoln's Big Gay Dance Party, which will be opening off-broadway in August). I am also a huge fan and when I am not at school I frequently take trips to the city and see as many shows as possible!!!
