Past Contracts
Ensemble / Swing - "Lilly and the Pirates"
1/22/26 - 3/15/26
I had the most fun getting to return to my home theatre of Orlando Family Stage and work on this new works with Christian Barillas (Director), Brett Ryback (Composer, Lyricist & Music Director), and Lindsay Wood Hose (Choreographer) leading the charge. Like WOW what a team!
Swinging this show was an incredible challenge for me and really showed me all my mind is capable of. Getting the opportunity to swing on for both roles I covered allowed me to create a really developed process for what tools I need for myself to succeed. It also taught me that being a great swing doesn't stop with my onstage performance but also how I handle myself backstage when preparing for a swing-on. Always trying to stay calm, collected, and lead with kindness, with an eye towards helping the cast, crew and show as a whole succeed.
Having Brett, our composer and lyricist, in the room during the process was such a blessing to the experience and one I do not take lightly. His deep understanding of the lyrics, script and show as a whole helped lead us to success. You could tell from day one how much he valued this show simply by how much he cared for each and every one of the cast members in the room. With topics so relevant to todays world, every day we got to perform this show felt so empowering.
Many thanks to Christian for always leading the room with grace, understanding and kindness, his love for this show was palpable and it was shown in the staging and messaging he channelled through us. Lindsay not only created such beautiful choreography and story telling through this show, but also was always looking out for the cast, how to help us, and constantly assisting in whatever way to make sure we succeed.
I feel so lucky to not only have worked with the above creative team but also with everyone else who touched this show. From the set to the lighting to the sound this show was so beautiful crafted. Our stage management and technical team knocked it out of the park everyday. And, of course, the cast was incredible to collaborate with. Masterclasses of making fun and creative choices onstage, while also showing kindness backstage, I look up to all of them.
Sally Brown & Dance Captain - "A Charlie Brown Christmas Live!" National Tour
10/14/2025 - 12/29/2025
I had an incredible experience returning to do this tour for the second time. Getting to deepen my relationship with the creative team, old and new, and the entire Gershwin Entertainment company was such a privilege.
Dance Captaining this show was such a joy. With ever changing spaces, swing-ons, and keeping the show clean while also being in it nightly, it was quite the hill to climb. But, I loved being able to help us as a collective have the tools to be successful. Being able to continue to grow this skillset was such a joy, I feel stronger and more confident in my process each time I do it, and this show really solidified my dance captain process for me.
One of the most special memories from this years tour I hold close to my heart was getting to meet the Shultz family. They were so full of love and holiday spirit and it was such a privilege to meet the family from which keeps this holiday classic alive.
I am so grateful to our amazing creative team the cast for making this experience so full of love every single day. Also, to our crew, who deserves their own shout out and award for the amount of work they did daily, always still with a smile on their face and continuously leading with kindess.
Rosie Revere - "Rosie Revere Engineer & Friends" National Tour
1/07/2025 - 04/25/2025
What an absolute blast it was to tour with TheaterWorksUSA for the second time! Between my incredible cast and crew, our creative team, all the amazing houses and audiences we got to play to, this tour was really an incredible beginning of my 2025.
With all 62 shows I had with my little Ms. Rosie Revere Engineer, I found that along the way, her story and all she had to learn, also taught me things I was unaware I also had to learn and reframe in my own mind. I learned to share the empathy I share with the world around me, with myself as well. And to always look at 'failure' as a "cause for celebration", because truly, trying your best, being true to yourself and spreading kindness and joy to those around you, is the win.
I couldn’t be more grateful to the team for trusting me with her and for introducing me to people who would become a second family to me. I am so proud to have shared this with everyone involved ✐ Signing off!
Violet / Patty as well as the Lucy, Sally and Frieda Cover - "A Charlie Brown Christmas Live!" National Tour
10/17/2024 - 12/29/2024
After 43 shows, 33 cities and 5 swing on's - plus 1 mid-show swing on - this experience helped me learn and grow so much as a performer and human. Not only did my stamina grow so much, but I also felt my brain capabilities as a swing and understudy expand exponentially to a level I am so proud of myself for.
Beyond myself, I am so thankful and proud of my entire cast. We had a bond and comradery that was totally unmatched and I felt myself take something away from each and every one you as an artist and a human. Through everything no one ever faltered as an artist or a human and for that I couldn't be more grateful.
I also want to give all the shout outs to the entire team of people at Orlando Family Stage and Gershwin Entertainments for giving me this opportunity, our entire creative team for helping me grow in the rehearsal space, and our crew for working hard all hours of the day and night to set all the actors up for success when we walked in for our day.
