"E.B. White's beloved story comes from the page to the stage! Follow our piggy hero, Wilbur as he grows from being the runt of the litter to "Some Pig", with the help of a remarkable spider named Charlotte. This timeless tale is filled with wacky farm animals, plenty of fun, and a message about bravery, selfless love and the true meaning of friendship."
- Alphabet Soup Productions
​
For the spring season this year I'm excited to be performing this iconic story. This will be my first time working with Alphabet Soup but a welcomed return to TYA. ​
"
Get in formation — it’s time to March!
From the team behind Yas, And!, Slay!, and Queers & Fears comes a brand-new sketch comedy revue that spotlights the bold, hilarious, and unapologetically queer voices of the women, femme-identifying, and gender expansive performers that make this community shine. Expect whip-smart writing, fearless performances, and a celebration of the humor, heart, and heat that define queer femininity.
Whether it’s marching toward love, chaos, or self-discovery, March! takes every step with pride — heels optional.
March! Is a one-hour show with no intermission."
- Yas, And! Comedy
​
This March I'm thrilled to be goofing around again with Yas, And! Comedy for March! Rehearsals are a wonderful collaborative environment. Being pushed to expand my improv and comedy writing skills is a great challenge. I'm excited to be working in a femme forward show exploring all the good bad and ugly of queer womanhood!
