Lou Award Winner!
Best Supporting Actress in a Musical - WINNER!
SO thrilled to announce that, at the Lou Awards ceremony this past Sunday, I won for Best Supporting Actress in a Female Role - Musical for my performance as Ms. Meyers/Danielle/Officer Sitz in Freaky Friday at Big Noise Theatre! This is such an honor and came as a total surprise to me. To even have been nominated amongst such stellar performers and productions is unreal. All my thanks to Big Noise Theatre, the Freaky Friday team, my friends and family, & the Lou Awards!

Freaky Friday!!
Freaky Friday at Big Noise Theatre 2024!
I am so thrilled to be returning to the Chicago theatre scene in Big Noise Theater’s production of Freaky Friday! I’ll be putting on several hats, playing the cruel gym teacher Ms. Meyers, the wedding magazine interviewer Danielle, the ditzy police Officer Sitz, among several others. I have absolutely loved this show since it’s premier at the Signature Theatre in 2016! This is an all-star cast and I cannot wait for audiences to see this stellar production!
3 Weeks Left!
Only three weeks left here at UFOMT!! I can’t believe it! I’ve done so much and theres still so much to do. Check out this post to see what I’ve been up to and maybe even see a couple performance videos!
I cannot believe how quickly time has flown by this summer. It feels like just yesterday we started rehearsals for the three productions I’m in! Amazingly, we have been open for almost two weeks now. All the shows have received rave reviews and I am so honored to be a part of such talented casts.
But I can’t catch my breath yet! We’re starting rehearsals for “Sentimental Journey” a concert tribute to Elton John, Irving Berlin, Ella Fitzgerald, and many more. I’m super excited to be soloing in both the Elton John Medley and the Irving Berlin!
I also had the privilege of performing at the company’s “Late Night Cabaret” this past Thursday. I got to sing a song from more than one of my dream roles! Links to two of my performances will be linked below.
I am so so grateful for all the opportunities this summer has allowed. I’m looking forward to wrapping up this wonderful season and seeing what the future holds!!
