bluebird, a movement project
I was truly honored to join the cast of Bluebird, a piece using the poetry of Charles Bukowski. A fully devised movement piece, this group brought enormous heart, strength, and trust to the rehearsal room, and built a beautiful piece of theatre. I love my beautiful bluebirds and our fearless leader Zara Antonyan!
much ado about nothing
Because you talk of wooing I will sing! I had the absolute joy of joining the cast of Much Ado About Nothing at the Stella Adler Studio of Acting, directed by Keira Naughton. Putting my songwriting skills to the test, I also had the pleasure of composing, arranging, and performing all of the music for the show. Putting up a Shakespeare play with your best friends is the best way to spend a senior year.
the three musketeers
For the culminating project for my first two years of Tisch and Stella Adler training, I had the privilege of joining the cast of The Three Musketeers, written and directed by Pete McElligott. Playing several roles and adding Muppeteer to my skill set, this excellent cast and hysterical show made my NYU performance debut one to remember! While these folks around me are pretty great, note my favorite scene partner, photographed here next to me: he carried me through this process.
LALAHAHA! a musical sketch group.
I am thrilled to be a member of New York-based musical sketch group LALAHAHA—because we believe singing and laughing are intrinsically linked, and it is vitally important to do them simultaneously. We have written and performed Period Piece, After Hours, Lifetime, and more. See us at venues across NYC, including The Upright Citizens Brigade, The Pit, and Caveat Theater! I love these guys so much!
the NYU reality show
I was a member of the 2023-24 NYU Presidential Welcome Reality Show cast, through which I had the profound opportunity to write and perform a musical sketch show to be debuted at Radio City Music Hall for NYU’s class of 2027. We spent the summer developing our writing skills, growing as an ensemble, and preparing to debut our original music. Following this performance, the cast performed excerpts from the show at The Skirball Performing Arts Center and NYU’s Yankee Stadium commencement. This was a life-changing opportunity, and I am forever grateful for our directors, Preston Martin and Matthew Dean Marsh, the support for this project from NYU, and my 12 perfect companions.
dangerbox improv
My time at NYU has been forever changed by NYU’s premier Improv group, the wickedly talented Dangerbox. Not only are these some of the funniest people I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing, but they are the very best friends I could ever ask for. We perform at locations around NYU, as well as occasional shows at off-campus venues! I love this group almost as much as I love a one-word suggestion that is not a food!
