Headshots and Birthday! Keep looking for what makes life interesting, and what makes you happy. Isn’t that what all of this is for? Thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday, making me feel very loved the last few days 🥰 (Headshots by @headshotsandpasta )

Link is live in my Instagram bio! Come see our show! Only 20 seats available, so get them before it’s too late, we’ll only be here one night!

One photo from every month of this year, with no particular significance. This year has been kind of all over the place for me. Just looking to live in precedented times. Thank you to those who contributed to this year.

Work wife, who makes the stupid days tolerable, and every day otherwise so fun

Mac!!!!! That is all.

Today was a good day ☺️ Also I don’t want anyone coming for me for decorations being up early. Let me have this joy lol

Thank you so much @honeypokes for this beautiful tattoo! It’s everything I could’ve hoped for and more. #newtattoo

Don’t know what it is about October, but it’s always one of the peak months of the year 🍂🍁🍂🍁 #october #nyc #halloween #nycc

Happy Halloween! One of our favorite holidays here at the museum. (Disclaimer, fake cigarette) #happyhalloween #halloween

That’s a wrap on our reading! Great job to the cast of this reading! @jacksonbradshawofficial can’t wait for the next step of this play #vampireprivilege 🧛‍♀️👻🩸 #newplay

New play alert!!! About to have our first reading of this show on 10/16. More information to come about where to watch. Stay tuned! #vampireprivilege

August Vibes ❤️❤️

Gone too soon 😢😢😢 Had a great weekend with Zoe and got to do all the touristy stuff that no one else will do with me lol. Can’t wait for the next visit!

Fun long weekend! Went home to surprise my mom for her birthday! Got to see family and hang out in the pool. Can’t ask for anything more 😎

AHHH this is why we love the fire escape bedroom Beautiful orange sunset sky after a little rain, and had to get a look at it before it disappeared. Tried to have a quick change in the middle before all the light was gone. Photos @jacksonbradshawofficial

Can you film an entire short film in one day? Well this is the second one I’ve done, so I’d say so! Fun times with fun people yesterday

Sprung 🌷🌷🌷

March 💚 #nyc

Good friend moments from this past week If I could summarize every day this week with emojis, it would look like: ☀️🎮🤬😬❤️🌳🍹 (Saturday hasn’t happened yet but we have a plan lol)

December is here! Two days full of fun things with friends! And we’re not even halfway through yet lol. So much more left to celebrate, and I’m glad to have these ones here to do it with (These photos aren’t the extensive list, just all the pics I have lol)

The only picture I took of my rat costume today. Happy Halloween, everyone! #halloween #nycrat

We had a pumpkin day at Governor’s Island! 🎃🎃🎃 The sun wiped me out though and I am ready for a nap 😴 #halloween #pumpkinpatch

Kind of obsessed with this new photo app lately lol. We love the crunchy nostalgic filter

My first solo Broadway experience! Impulse bought a ticket this morning and had a great time at this show. Got to see my fav Alex Brightman again, and, as always, he crushed it. He was so funny and an absolute delight to see perform. Without spoilers, there was a scene that hit very close to home to me as an actor, and made the whole play worth seeing. Colin Donnell and Ian Shaw were also great and for a moment made me forget that they weren’t the original actors from the film. Can’t wait to see more from them. Overall, I had a great time at this show. Well done! #sharkisbroken #sharkonbroadway

First year of NYC (2/2). This is by far not a comprehensive collection of memories to document my first year of living in NYC, but several are moments that I haven't yet had the chance to share. Year one has been an absolute blast. If you had asked me this time last year what all I would have seen or done in my first year, I don't think I could have imagined any of this. This year has been full of so much love and fun and new things. One down, so many more to go! #nyc

First day of school! Jk lol, but I did start at the new position as a supervisor at AMNH! And I also moved to a whole new apartment. So many new things this week lol. But I’m so very grateful for the events and people in my life who have gotten me to this point, and I’m excited for many more good and new things to come. Hey guys. Love you guys ❤️

Okay, this post is a lot of catch up from the past two weeks, haha! First of all, I had an absolute blast last week as I went back to SEMO to attend the Lanford Wilson New Play Festival. I got to see old faces I haven’t seen in a while, and meet so many new ones! I even got to be in one of the staged readings and was on the winning team in new play trivia! Lanford is always the best and I left with some writing ideas that I’m currently cooking up. And this past week! We were in final dress and then the performance of Remembering Morgan at Playwrights Horizons. Officially had my off-Broadway premier as a stage manager! I could not have asked for a better cast and crew during this process and I’m still catching up from the performance yesterday. I’m just surrounded by reminders of why I love doing what I do and feel so encouraged to keep on it. I cannot wait to see what the future has in store. ❤️ #lanfordwilsonfest #rememberingmorgan @duafnyc

Remembering Morgan at Playwrights Horizon. This Friday June 9th. Link for tickets in bio.

Broke my phone screen from rock skipping, but it’s a still a great day. #statenislandferry #touriststuff

I knew I was walking in to a sad play, but why am I still sad lol. Pictures From Home has given me a lot to think about. About family, legacy, and my art. What all of these things mean to me and what I am to do with them. A very beautiful piece that Im glad to have seen. @picturesbway #picturesbway

Something pretty cool coming up in June! I’m very excited to be working on @anniebrwn ‘s piece “Remembering Morgan” with such a promising team. Check out @duafnyc ‘s page for more festival info, and keep checking back for updates! #duafnyc #rememberingmorgan

Yesterday was a good day ❤️ Got to do some fun work and also hang out with friends. Looking for more of this time.

Absolutely blown away by this show. Came for the puppets and left with so much more. It was such a charming and beautiful story told by master storytellers. If you haven’t seen this yet, why haven’t you?? #lifeofpi #lifeofpibroadway

Just finished this great book! I had been waiting for months to finally be able to read this book, and I blasted through it in a week. It was a lot to process, but is inspiring to remember to treat people like people and advocate for the safety and well-being of our child actors, among other things. If you haven’t read this yet, please do! #imgladmymomdied #jeanettemccurdy

No new content, so here’s an unshared one. Just trying to wake up and do my day. Photos by @photosby_.jacob

A collection of sketches in my journal from work. 1. “I’m Freaking Out” by The Wrecks 2. Very minimal impression sketches of three characters from a play I’ve started. 3. The bedroom of two of those main characters. 4. The living room/kitchen area of same house 5. Myself in Bob’s Burgers style 6. (a) “I’m Freaking Out” by The Wrecks. It’s technically supposed to be a picture of Kanye West, but I liked the idea of bathroom gnome more. (b) “The Judge” by 21 Pilots 7. Some wizards concepts based on the new Harry Potter game 8. (a) random girl (b) “Make Me Happy” from 35MM 9. “Sober Up” by AJR

In this episode of Doctor Who… These ones look like image stills from an episode just out of context, and I kind of love them for that Okay that’s the last Museum post I swear lol Photos by @photosby_.jacob

Museum Day Pt 2/2. Cast me in Doctor Who plz lol Pictures by @photosby_.jacob

I tried to pick some of my favorite memories from this year, but this doesn’t do it nearly any justice. It’s a good problem to have, I guess! Thank you to everyone who helped make it. 2023, ready to kill it! #happynewyear #2023

I’d just like to remind everyone how much I love this show. And how I appreciate Broadway lotteries existing. Thank you for your time. #beetlejuicebroadway #beetlejuicemusical #beetlejuicebway #netherworld #broadway

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Way, way overdue but here are a few pictures from The Romantic Movement by Emily Bohannon @emilyjb7 My first original new play to have worked on, and what an amazing experience! Shirley was a character that had so much of myself in her, and I’m very grateful for the opportunity to have brought her to life onstage. Set and Properties Design: Brandon M.

I waited until the 2nd day of November like a decent person, haha. And yes, I am looking for little 2ft trees online right now, why do you ask? #muppetschristmascarol #christmascarol

I’ve always wanted to keep a journal of some sort, just to have things to look back on fondly decades later. And I’ve had some pretty cool stuff happen this week. So I decided rather than forcing myself to find something to write about every day, I just write when I feel inspired or when something I’m excited for happens. I think it’s just a good way to dip my toes back in. Can’t wait to fill this up! #journaling #journalofcoolhappenings #coollifestuff

First ever sighting

Had some good light and good hair today, so decided to grab some pics outside. Also got photobombed by my upstairs neighbors shoes. 🤷🏻‍♀️ #newhair #nyc

Still getting used to the fact that the long hair is gone lol. Haircut curtesy of @julia.julia.hair Musical was “Showcase: The Musical” by @kevinrenn_ at @thegreenroom42 I was sick a couple weeks ago, and then I was busy, so sorry for the long gap #lookingforninjaturtles #day47 #tmnt #haircut #newmusical

Union Square park! #lookingforninjaturtles #day5 #nyc #tmnt

We did it! The big move to NYC! Week one down, and I had two great job things happen today. Here we go!

This past week of apartment hunting was exhausting. But I got to see so much more of NYC, and I got to see my all-time favorite Broadway show for the first time! I actually cried when it started. We still have some work to do, but I can’t wait to come back. #beetlejuicebroadway #theplaythatgoeswrong #nycbound

Ahh!! Had such a great time this past week at the 2022 Lanford Wilson New American Play Festival. While this isn’t a comprehensive post of my time this week, these are some of my highlights. I had the absolutely pleasure and honor to be in “Tough” by Margot Connolly. This play was my favorite one from all of the submissions I had read and I was so excited that it was included in the festival. The cast I got to work with was absolutely perfect, and we had great direction from Lonny Price. I could not have asked for a better combination of people to work with. I also got to compete in New Play Jeopardy, and team Annihilator swept by 30 points! That scholar bowl experience came in handy, haha! I aim to be back next year, but if not, I’m very thankful for the time I’ve had these past two summers. Thank you to everyone who helped this week go so great, and I can’t wait for more. #lanfordwilsonfest

Had a great time in St Louis last night with my friends! It was such a cool experience to see #karatekidmusical in it’s pre-Broadway run. You could tell that every person in the audience was so excited to be there, and the show was an all-around great time. Can’t wait to see where this show goes! #thekaratekid #stagesstlouis #kirkwoodperformingartscenter

Hey guys! I did it! Ready for the Big 🍎 #classof2022 #semoalumni #graduation #nycbound

It’s heeeeeere!!! The Romantic Movement by Emily Bohannon opens April 27th! Set in the summer of 1967 at a Florida honors band camp, an ensemble group of teens and young adults navigate growing pains of life with the threat of war hanging over their heads. Our team has been working so hard these past few weeks and we’re so excited to share this new story with you! You can buy tickets now at the River Campus Box Office website, or in person at the box office in the Cultural Arts Center on River Campus. Be there or be square! #theromanticmovement #newplay #lanfordwilsonnewplayfestival #emilybohannon

A highlight reel from my week in NYC. Can’t wait to go back 😉 #nyc #springbreak #seniorshowcase #classof2022

Your NYC class of 2022 seniors. #actingisbelieving

Tonight we had our premiere night for “Look Back”!!! It was so awesome to be able to hear an actual audience reaction! I’m so grateful to be able to have met, worked with, and become friends with these three goobs. Watch what these guys get up to, I’m sure it’ll be great. The other two films, “Druqks” and “Untitled Self Portrait” were fantastic and I’m so glad that were done justice by being viewed on the big screen. #lookback #druqks #untitledselfportrait #studentfilm #studentfilms

Which one is your fav?! Had a fantastic time a couple weeks ago taking some pictures with @kkayliedavis !! These are just a few of my favs. Kaylie, thank you so so much for these great photos! #photoshoot #newpics #headshots #photography

Here’s a dump of photos and videos from the last litter of puppies, all the way back in 2020. While in the middle of zoom classes and the world ending, it was nice to take care of these babies every day. Missing dog presence in my life atm (PS There are not currently any puppies available, and I do not have any information on a future litter.) #goldenretriever #goldenretrieverpuppy #goldenretrieversofinstagram #goldenretrieverpuppies

Stolen picture from @jacksonbradshawofficial Last night we had a zoom reading of The Romantic Movement and it was so much fun! I can’t wait for rehearsals to start! #lanfordwilson #lanfordwilsonnewplayfestival #theromanticmovement

Did you all know that you can soon own your own copy of the 2021 Lanford Wilson New American Play Festival Short Plays collection??? They’ll be available for purchase on River Campus (I forget when officially but I’ll absolutely let you all know), but also at Barnes and Noble and on Amazon. We also put on these plays this past fall and they were awesome! They focus on roles that college-age students can play but also on roles that feature women, poc, queer, and other minority characters. I can’t wait to come back to the festival in June for its second year! (Also cool because I got to read for Ryan in the staged reading of Lawncare by Paul Vintner at the festival last summer!) #lanfordwilson #lanfordwilsonnewplayfestival #dobbinsconservatory

Oh my gosh! I had such a fun day today! There were many firsts: first time going to the Fox Theatre, first time seeing Cats: The Musical, and first time getting to meet Zach Bravo! It was such a good show and I’m so glad to have seen it. And thank you, Zach, for being so nice and friendly at the stage door. “The Rum Tug Tugger is a curious cat…and there’s no doing anything about it!” #catsthemusical #foxtheatre #thefabulousfox

Happy (late) Thanksgiving from some friends and family! Visiting with our pups made me realize how much I miss having them around. J’Nae is a cutie and I wanted to share a picture she made me take 😆😆. And my brother let me do some makeup on him! Lol, you can see that comedy skills run in the family. (And I can’t stand this kid being taller than me and have a deeper voice when he’s eight years younger, sheesh.) #goldenretriever #makeupclass #agemakeup #familytime

TW just in case… My first attempt at some gore makeup in class last Wednesday! I get scared putting on the latex and stuff, but then color pulls it all together is what I’m learning, haha! #fakeinjury #goremakeup #theatregore

Tonight I’ll be taking over @semo_dobbinsconservatory ‘s Instagram! Come see what all goes on backstage of You Can’t Take It With You with your very own local Assistant Stage Manager! Can’t wait to see you there!

So we’re going to call it here now. Open this time capsule in 30 years and see how close I got. This was for an assignment in makeup class #agemakeup #timecapsule #30yearslater #2051 #theater #theatre #theatremakeup

Hey, got it almost exactly on the anniversary of this show! Throwback to when I was a nun in The Three Musketeers…well, one of the nun looks (believe it or not, there was more than one).

Last week I had an amazing experience being an actor and participant of the inaugural year of the Lanford Wilson New American Play Festival! In that one week alone, I learned so much about the industry and the creation of new works, and it also reignited my inspiration to create. 10/10 would recommend and can’t wait for next year!

I had a pretty fun day yesterday! Met an actor I look up to for the second time, went to the pool with some friends, and then bought my first alcoholic drink at Applebee’s (and then my gift card didn’t work 😞 lol). Thank you everyone who wished me a happy birthday. I read every message and appreciate it all. I’ve had a birthday I’ll never forget! #21stbirthday #alexbrightman #applebees #funwithfriends

My first Thanksgiving where I wasn’t able to quite celebrate with family like usual. I did get to visit family today (they actually made the meal lol), and I got to have a whole fun and fulfilling day with some of my school family. It was the best I could’ve asked for for this year.

These 10 pics do no justice to the year I’ve had. I tried to kind of work in reverse order, and I promise it’s more interesting as it goes along. I tried to post some that I haven’t shown on insta before. This year has offered so much growth for me. I’m so happy with all of the change and opportunity and work that has come into my life. I’ve been able to make so many good memories, all of it starting with what I call “Musketeer Boot Camp” the week before the fall semester began. I started last year going into my second main stage show at SEMO, and ended it in my room in my BFA review. I’m so thankful for this year and I’m even more excited for this next one to start. See you guys then! - - - #endoftheyear #semo #semostudent #bfaacting #bfaactingstudent #actingstudent #collegelife #metamorphoses #thethreemusketeers #zoom #zoomclass #coronacation #dannydevito #shrekthemusical #aerial #trapeze
