BIO
"I come from a town called Oconomowoc, Wisconsin and I love to hear people pronounce Oconomowoc, Wisconsin. I grew up harmonizing with my Mom and Sister and making scripts for video projects for school with my Father. I received my BFA in Acting and graduated Suma Cum Laude from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. From there I decided I had to do something that scared me. So I left the Midwest, and went to the ‘much larger than Oconomowoc, Wisconsin’…..Philadelphia, and the East Coast where I have lived for the past 7 years! I have worked as a professional actor, teaching artist, dialect coach, makeup artist, and model in Philadelphia, New York, and Atlanta. Though far from home I am grateful for the support of my family who somehow has come to terms with a career in the arts."

by Amber Kusching - Dec 6, 2018
After a hard day's labor in a parish workhouse for children, a nine-year-old orphan named Oliver asks for a second serving of gruel. The workhouse master, annoyed by Oliver's impertinence, sells him into an apprenticeship with a drunken undertaker and his abusive wife. Fearing for his life, the boy escapes to London, where he falls in with the Artful Dodger and a band of juvenile pickpockets led by the criminal Fagin. Oliver discovers heroes and villains in all manner of strange places as he learns how to survive and thrive on the streets of the city. Including such favorite songs as "Food, Glorious Food," "Consider Yourself," and "You've Got to Pick a Pocket or Two," Lionel Bart's adaptation of Charles Dickens' social satire of 19th-century London remains a cherished musical for all ages.
