Why did you apply for Next on Stage?

I applied for Next on Stage because my voice teacher told me about it. I thought I would submit a video and see what would happen!

Share a memory from seeing a past production!

The first Broadway show I ever saw was "The Lion King" and I was MESMERIZED. I went with my grandma and mom, and it was amazing watching our culture come alive on stage. It's something I will never forget.

Who is a theater educator that has had an impact on you?

Sabrina Learman. She has never given up on me, and is the sweetest soul. I trust her with my voice and that means a lot.

Give a shoutout!

All glory to God!

Share a fun fact about yourself!

I have a major fear of birds. How do I live in the city where there's pigeons everywhere I turn? Once again.....all glory to God.


After two successful seasons of our virtual singing competition, we're back again by popular demand with the third season of our online musical theatre singing competition for student performers sponsored by The International College of Musical Theatre.
