Echoes and Improv for All 2025 at The REV
In January of 2025, I returned back to The REV once more to participate as an Actor and Singer-Songwriter for my second year working on Echoes. We read through 2,300 submissions from middle schoolers once again this year and sorted them into an hour long show of their skits, poems, and songs we compose using their lyrics. We are currently touring that show across New York State, and later in the season we will tour a separate improv show for the high schoolers.

We are toured schools all across New York State where we led lessons in the classroom and then put on our show for them afterwards where they became active participants.

The Sour Grapes
After RetroSpect ended, I continued at Kings Dominion for the rest of the summer as a part of their Food and Wine Festival. Jumping down from singing in the stratosphere earlier that summer, I could be found singing Bass in the traveling barbershop quartet: The Sour Grapes.

RetroSpect
For the summer of 2024, I returned back to Kings Dominion, performing as a vocalist (highlighted in songs like 24k Magic, What Makes You Beautiful, and Blinding Lights) in their return of their mainstage show RetroSpect. During this contract I also participated in leading the Spectacle of Color Parade as a Dancer in the King’s Brigade for Carnivale.

Echoes with The REV
For the first 5 months of 2024 I worked as an Actor and Singer-Songwriter with The REV Theatre Company on their educational tour: Echoes. We read through over 2,300 writing submissions (Skits, Poems, Songs, etc.) from middle schoolers across New York and narrowed down pieces to include into an hour long showcase similar to SNL, allowing these students to see their work fully realized on stage. This included as simply as their skit being staged or, more complexly, their poem being used as lyrics to an original composition written and played by us.

Tinker's Toy Factory
From November of 2023 until 2 hours before the New Year of 2024, I was a part of the 115 show run as Tinker in Tinker’s Toy Factory, one of King’s Dominion’s leading shows from their Winterfest season. The show follows Tinker the elf as he eventually finds out he may have to stand in for Santa on Christmas after Santa has suffered a case of lumbago.

Conjure the Night
In the fall of 2023, I returned as a dancer for the premier of Cedar Fair’s new Halloween HAUNT show: Conjure the Night (Choreographed by Brandon Kelly), at Kings Dominion. A high energy show including music from Guns N’ Roses, Britney Spears, and Rihanna, Conjure the Night loosely follows the spirits (Chaos, Lust, Terror, and Excess) that the park’s icon: Queen Majesty, has summoned from hell to make her more powerful. Each spirit’s section of the show contains a different sound and quality of movement but is mostly centered around street jazz and hip-hop.

Conjure The Night Workshop
In August of 2023, I finished working as a dancer in the workshop of the new show Conjure The Night for Cedar Fair Parks/Entertainment. Working with choreographer Brandon Kelly and Carlos Jimenez, I was there as choreography was worked through and modified along with other creative elements of the show.

Oopsie Daisy
After graduation, I started and wrapped up filming for the short film Oopsie Daisy (Directed by Julian Banks) as the “high as shit” Mark who walks in on his coworker standing over a dead body. Don’t worry though, of course Mark knows just what to do.

Pleasantries

Isle of Noises
Serving as a prequel to The Tempest, I was a part of the original cast and worked on developing TJ Young’s new play Isle of Noises (Directed by Liz Fisher). A very technically heavy show, I manned one of the 14 foot puppets, learned a ton of fight choreography, performed multiple codified systems of movement (one based in Suzuki method), and stepped into the role of music captain.

The Conference
As part of our Heightened Language class final we spent the semester rearranging the text of one of Shakespeare’s plays (keeping the text in iambic) and reimagining one of the characters in a modern circumstance that was significant to each us. This was all put together into a ten minute solo piece performed at the end of the semester. My piece, The Conference, reimagined Lady Macbeth as a speaker at a political conference. Using the actual audience as conference goers, the piece explored trust and rhetoric and how easily we can all be led to believe/agree with ideas that may not even align with us, political or not.

A Midsummer Night's Dream
In October of 2021, I got the chance to play a genderbent Helena in a reimagined version of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream set in Athens, Ohio in the 60s. Led by incredible director Oliver Mayes, the production looked at queer relationships, interracial couples, and the fear of repercussions of being their true selves in the late 60s, a time of political unrest.
