Virtual Theater
During the COVID-19 pandemic, theater has changed drastically from what it was before. As part of the journey to adapt to the new normal, I was fortunate enough to be involved in a couple of shows performed via Zoom: 4 A.M. Stay-at-Home-Edition by Jonathan Dorf and Love & Information by Caryl Churchill.
4 A.M. Stay-at-Home-Edition by Jonathan Dorf was performed and rehearsed entirely via Zoom streamed live to YouTube and was an important introduction to the medium of virtual theater.
Love & Information by Caryl Churchill was performed as a hybrid in-person and zoom performance presented streamed live to YouTube, with prerecorded short film video elements directed by Rory Pelsue.
In the Summer of 2020, I participated in an event from Vintage Soul Productions where a collective of artists come together to write, perform, and direct monologues in a little under one week before posting and sharing the end results to YouTube and Facebook. See my collaboration below:

Growing Pains
The National Theater Institute
In the Fall of 2019, I attended the National Theater Institute at the Eugene O’Neill Theater Center in Waterford, Connecticut. The end of the semester culminated in a series of performances known as the Company Project. I performed an arrangement of “She” by Dodie Clark as seen here.
