favorite text Lookingglass has adapted: Around the World in Eighty Days
favorite Lookingglass memory: The entire rehearsal process of Black Diamond. It was my first equity show and I was very excited and open to everything and like the rest of the cast, I knew we were part of something special, important, and different. The cast was really tight and the part that I had, allowed me to really play and have fun and little did I know that I would be playing in the ‘glass for many shows to come.
