(BS)NL
I was so honored to be a part of the inaugural (BS)NL, a sketch comedy show written, performed, and directed by Boston Conservatory students! This is one of the funniest groups of people I've ever worked with, and we all had a blast! I can't wait for our next performance!
Ineffable
This December, I was in the devised piece Ineffable, created by B Johnson and directed by Bella Donneruno. We combined movement, poetry, and text to create a show about all the complex emotions of being a person. Being a part of this piece was so joyous, and I'm so honored to have worked with such an amazing group! Photos by the incredible Carrigan Boynton.
Jessica's Tenth Birthday Bash!
In November, I played Lily in a scene from You're Invited To: Jessica's Tenth Birthday Bash! by Molly Kate Babos, directed by Mikaela McGovern. This was an incredible play and incredible scene about queerness and being really awkward in middle school. I loved being involved in it and I had a great time!
Bee Musical
In May 2023, I was in The Bee Musical, written and directed by Brayden Martino. This was a hilarious parody of The Bee Movie, and filled with one of the funniest casts I have ever gotten to work with, no exaggeration. When I decided to pursue theatre, did I ever think I would be in a parody musical about an animated Jerry Seinfeld movie?
No. But I'm so glad I did!
Fools' Rush
In April, I played Dorothy Haywood in a new devised play, Fools' Rush. This was a development process facilitated by Pascale Florestal, one of my incredible professors. I loved having the chance to work with my classmates using what we've learned from our first year at Boston Conservatory, and we had a blast performing it! I'm so happy to have gotten a chance to work with everyone.
The Little Mermaid Jr.
In the summer of 2022, I played Arista in the Peacock Players production of The Little Mermaid Jr. It was such an amazing experience, and I'm so happy to have been a part of such an iconic show in my hometown. The cast was incredible and talented, and our director led an amazing creative team that molded the final show.
