New Work! New Work! New Work!
Wendy's Shadow is a really heart lifting new musical by my dear friend David Maglione. It was such a treat to get to work on a new draft of the show and help bring the magic to life!
That's a wrap! 10 days of master classes with the inspiring students at Granite Bay High School. These amazing young artists just put together an astounding amount of work on Jesus Christ Superstar. I'm so moved by the next wave of theater artists.
Couldn't be more proud when I read comments like this from the kids: "I can speak for all members of the cast in saying that we feel so much closer to our show, characters, and each other after this life changing experience."
One week of fast and furious rehearsal on this one. So much gratitude to Dir. Zi Alikhan for having me choreograph the stage concert of Shards of an Honor Code Junkie. This new musical is being present by the Trevor Project. It's an honor to work with such an important organization and to collaborate on this exciting new work!

What an inspiring week teaching the best of the best high school musical theater students in Cayuga county this week. We got to dive deep into physical story telling at the High School Musical Theater Intensive put together by the Merry Go Round Youth Theatre at the Finger Lakes Musical Theatre Festival. (Holy titles!) The next generation of MT kids are amazing....watch out Broadway!
Teaching at Sugarloaf Fine Arts camp every year reminds me why I fell in love with theater, artists, and creating. It's such a magical place in the Sierra Nevada's where kids come from all over El Dorado Country to study Music, Theater, Art, Dance, and more. I'm so grateful to be a part of continuing this tradition. Another successful week wrapped!
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels just opened at the Mac-Hadyn Theatre and its filthy. If you're in the Berkshires and you love good musicals about bad people filled with rotten dances, don't miss it! June 8-18. I had such a blast choreographing this one. CHECK US OUT!
Happy opening to the glorious cast of Spring Awakening at Sarah Lawrence College. These students dug deeper into this show than I have seen in such a long time. If you want to see some raw, honest, heart-pumping theater....hop on the train to Bronxville, NY. These kids are amazing!
