An overview

This blog is an overview of some of my theatrical experiences.  I hope to continually update it!  Though it is  not complete, each post brings wonderful memories, and I feel incredibly blessed to have been a part of each one!

Lucy "You're A Good Man Charlie Brown"

Playing the Role of Lucy in "You're A Good Man Charlie Brown", was exciting, fun, and a new challenge.  Playing a child as an adult was simply wonderful and exhausting!  Every minute was filled with the wonder of childhood and the energy that involves.  This goes down as one of my favorite roles and I was honored to receive and Inland Theatre League award for Acting in this role! 

Theatre of the Oppressed!

Perhaps one of my greatest experiences was having the chance to study Augusto Boal's Theory of Theatre of the Oppressed at CNYU in New York!  This study crosses the worlds of communication and Theatre in the most unique and amazing way.  In this study, we learn how to communicate, how to stand up for your beliefs without hurting someone, and in reality how to promote change when change is needed.  This theory is used in schools fighting against bullying, in corporate America when there are employee issues, and in foreign countries.  Not only did I have the chance to study this, but also I was also able to be a part of a team that put this into action, creating and performing a piece that dealt with young adults and teenagers and some of the struggles they face.  It was phenomenal the response we received. 

As an actress this study helped me to dive into reality onstage, to respond more naturally, and to take on new characters.

My role as Doris Macaffee in "Bye Bye Birdie"

This role was an absolute blast!  I enjoyed played this quirky housewife.  It is wonderful to hear an auidence enjoying a show and laughing!  I describe this role as a mix between June Clever and Lucielle Ball!    In this role I receieved and Inland Theatre League Award for Acting. 

Camp Broadway Promotional Video for New Life Community Church Asheville

This video was used to promote a week long theatre camp!  Registration doubled after this was shown!  What an amazing experience it was bringing theatre to these kids and watching lives be transformed. 

Camp Broadway Director and Playwrite

This was a Summer Theatre Camp performed and rehearsed at New Life Community Church Asheville.  In this I played the role of director and playwrite.  We rehearsed for a week! In the end the kids performed this 30 minute original musical and the result was a wonderful performance, stage fright disappearing, confidence built, and team work developed.  One of the most amazing experiences.  What a joy to watch these kids grow in just one week!

Director for Alice in Wonderland

In this colorful production we took our audience to the world of Wonderland!  It was full of energy, full of laughter, and full of color everywhere.  My vision was to create a new wonderland, one that had never been seen before!
