Next in my choreography journey I will be working with Chicago Danztheatre Ensemble as a resident choreographer in their Body Passages Showcase! This is a company many of my mentors have worked for and I've admired for a long time.
​
I'm excited to be working with this company in their performance and rehearsal spaces, plus in community with all the other artists! The cool thing about this residency is it's a representation of artists across many mediums. Visual art, written work, music, dance, and theatre! I'm already very inspired by the other artists in residency and excited to see the exhibition come together.

"Chicago Danztheatre Ensemble is relaunching our Body Passages residency for Dance, Theater, Film, Poetry, Music, and Visual Artists. The Artists will create collaboratively and/or separately over the course of four months with their 40 hours of rehearsal/studio space and discounted additional rehearsal/studio time. Artists will present their work at the Body Passages Performance and Exhibition May 2nd- 4th. " (Chicago Danztheatre Ensemble)
A Most Lamentable Comedy and Most Ridiculous Tragedy (and also completely factual and also true).
Written by ensemble member Stephanie Murphy.
Directed by ensemble member Seth Wilson.
​
Shortly after the Great Fire, “Captain” George Streeter and his wife Ma are building a utopian community on a sandbar in Lake Michigan right outside the city limits of Chicago. Unfortunately, his ex-wife Minnie is tagging along to set the record straight. Combining elements of Greek tragedy, vaudeville, farce, history play, and Brechtian lehrstücke, this is the outrageous (mostly) true story of how Chicago’s most expensive neighborhood came into existence.
​
More information will be available soon. February and March 2025.
​
This will be my first time working with Stage Left and I'm super excited about this script and team attached to it. This play has everything that excites me as an actor. Camp, vaudeville, combat, singing, dancing, instruments, and full of slapstick comedy! I'm pumped to get cracking in the rehearsal room with this thrilling team!
