Why did you apply for Next on Stage?

I think this is a great way to get some exposure and raise money for charity.

What does musical theatre mean to you?

Musical theatre has always been an outlet for me to be creative and have fun.

What is a fond memory you have from a past production?

I performed outside at the Idaho Shakespeare Festival in The Music Man last summer and getting to dance under actual stars was magic.

What charity did you pick and why?

I chose True Colors United because I have been fortunate to have a very supportive family and I'd like to give back and help those who may not.

Share a memory from seeing a show!

I saw Robert Fairchild in An American in Paris in high school and I was so incredibly inspired, not only by his brilliant performance but the beautiful production as well.

What have you been doing during quarantine?

I've been singing in my bed a lot; I've been cooking a lot; I've been trying to learn guitar a little bit; and I've been doing my best to stretch and keep that flexibility up!

Give a shoutout!

Shoutout to my amazing voice teacher Sandy Simon! Love you Sandy!
