Congrats to the 2025 BroadwayWorld nominees! I'm lucky to receive a few, either solo or with a team, and I'm jazzed so many talented friends are getting recognized.

Minnesota theatre goers, vote! It doesn't matter who wins, just that we celebrate each other.

A weekend of stunting it up on a commercial and a short to start off a month of play rehearsals for a half dozen shows. Big thanks to my filmmaking peers for helping kickstart this fall season into high gear.

It's a few years late, but I finally made my first website. It's little more than the talent profiles on the directory websites I've used for nearly ten years, but I'm excited to grow it. Feel free to give it a look and share any feedback!

Happy to run movement auditions for "She Kills Monsters" at Owatonna High School, so students can find their inner fantastical monster.

First rehearsal for #WestSideStory, with Jake and Kiko focusing on generational violence breeding tribalism towards a grounded, violent energy.

Maria: To get rid of what?
Anita: Too much feeling."

I'm excited to be taking my first steps to join Stage Directors and Choreographers Society. While I'm waiting for full membership to be the right course for me, today I join alongside thousands of theatre leaders who stand for improving the quality of financial and workplace protections for all.
