We weren’t ready for this. I certainly wasn’t. This is a time of great change, and it is going to hurt, because change does often hurt. The greatest hope is that we use our voices to encourage change for the better and be examples of the better, more compassionate, more humane world. Artists are good at feeling pain and using it for creativity and innovation, so let us find ways to help everyone else do so too. #blacklivesmatter #bethechangeyouwishtosee

I wasn’t really here for March — but since early April, I’ve been taking steps to keep my soul and spirit alive. I’ve been spending my time in quarantine in Brooklyn learning new skills: Duolingo, Masterclass, and Harvard’s online edx are my new friends; interacting digitally with my community: so grateful for workshops with Actors Launchpad, theatre chat groups watching productions on YouTube, fellow artists willing to explore scenework and character over Zoom; writing: joined a writing group and it’s encouraging me to finish several screenplays - features and webisodes/miniseries; and learning more about representation and the future of my industry.

Sadly, in light of covid-19 restrictions, Summer 2020’s productions with Breckenridge Backstage Theatre have been cancelled. We received healthy communication from the artistic team and I fully support their decision to protect their community and everyone involved, but I still made space for myself to bid farewell to an opportunity lost. I am honoured to have been cast as Helena (A Midsummer Night’s Dream) and Prentiss (Peter and the Starcatcher), I hope to see you again in a brighter healthier better future!
