NOVEMBER 20TH – DECEMBER 12TH

We had a wonderful opening weekend of Man of La Mancha! I am grateful to my fellow cast members and our audience which has made this show and my experience such a critical success (Reviews below).

I am performing the role of Antonia, the distraught niece of Quixote, and am the understudy for Aldonza!

In preparation for this role I read the original text “Don Quixote” (Almost 1000 pages) by Cervantes. The themes could not be more relevant today. The book gave me deeper understanding of the context in which the original character was created!

I look forward to continuing to share this story with more audiences!
Man of La Mancha performances are Thursday’s through Sunday’s with additional days and matinees. Tickets can be purchased at https://plazabroadwaylongisland.com .

Join us just outside the city at “Plaza Broadway Long Island” – Nassau County’s only AEA theatre!

The Reviews are in!

La Cage Aux Folles

Acting, Singing, Theatre acting, equity, singing, summer, theatre

Right after Beauty and the Beast I had found myself in France once again in La Cage Aux Folles. Not as the town outcast, but as the town flirt, Colette. Reagle Music Theatre of Greater Boston had the original costumes from the Broadway revival and it was an honor to wear the adorable outfits Colette had. I especially had a blast wearing an adorable pair of 3 inch red wedges- and I am 5’9″!

Rehearsals flew by and the cast and crew were incredible. I learned a great deal from each actor, especially from the warm, beautiful, talented and kind Maureen Brennan. The director, Susan M. Chebookjian and the Music Director, Dan Rodriguez had this amazing vision for the production and it was a smooth, educational and I was extremely blessed to have transported an audience to France, yet again, with this incredible cast and team.

Before I knew it I was actually traveling to France for real- to sing in French for a wedding! Talk about foreshadowing with performing in Beauty and the Beast and La Cage Aux Folles all in the same summer.
