What is your favorite song in this show and why?

Topsy Turvy through Rhythm of the Tambourine! It's literally a bop.

Tell us about your character. What’s your favorite thing about them? What do you love about getting to portray them?

I'm just having fun! I think I'm having fun making someone who has been hurt by the church's oppression and getting the chance to break free from that is something they would cherish.

What about this production are you the most excited about?

I'm so excited about the Deaf & HOH representation at the helm of our show. I'm excited to watch Rey be the star he is.

Getting an audience to laugh, cry, and feel right along with me.
