Cindy & The Disco Ball: The Musical time-travels back nearly fifty years to a decade that was dy-no-mite! Colorful fashion, sensational songs, and disco dance moves bring an all-new Cinderella story to life. The story unfolds at a SoCal High School in 1976. On the flip side, a glittering Soul Sister with magic up her sleeves is keeping tabs on Cindy and her “messy” relationship with her stepsister. It’s a fun and fabulous journey through teenage self-discovery, high school romance, and four friends who dream up something big for the future - you know… the 1980s.

Playing the role of Schroeder in You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown is an exciting opportunity to bring a beloved comic strip character to life on stage. With charm, wit, and heart, the musical explores life through the eyes of Charlie Brown and his friends in the Peanuts gang. As Schroeder, I have the chance to showcase my musical talents while bringing my own interpretation to this classic character. I am thrilled to be a part of this revue of songs and vignettes, based on the iconic Charles Schulz comic strip.
Cooties by Alexandra Walker
In a crummy college apartment, three crummy relationships blossom into something less crummy. A fast-paced-sitcom-romcom variety show about truly ugly love, Cooties examines all the things we’d rather not talk about when it comes to sex, love, and happiness. Like,
• Is she kinky or just racist?
• Why am I so obsessed with Mark Wahlberg’s pretend genitals?
• Oops, we got the clap from the same person, what do we do now?
All these questions (and more!) will likely remain unanswered, but it’s worth the fun either way!
