This group deserves a spot on my feed. I have loved working with these 14 artists this semester in my MT audition and portfolio class. Most of these students are seniors and they are the class that I started this job with. I am going to miss them greatly. Watching their growth has been inspiring. @ncctheatredept

Tonight I got to reunite with my @ncctheatredept students, Ben, Shea, Lauren and Kaitlyn as we performed with the @thebeautifulcityproject to raise money for #ProjectOnward. It was a magical evening filled with talent and a loving community!

My teaching philosophy

My teaching philosophy

My @ncctheatredept directing debut of #littlewomenthemusical streams this month, April 29 & 30th at 7:30 pm CST and May 1st at 2pm CST (tickets are $1 and the show is appropriate for families) I’ve never worked so hard on a production. This took months of planning and then rehearsals, audio recordings, in person filming one actor at a time and virtual green screen captures. I was lucky to have the greatest team to work with who made this such a rewarding journey! “Sometimes when you dream, your dreams come true in extraordinary ways, suddenly a day can be so amazing.” Www.showtix4u.com
