Broadway Artists Alliance
This afternoon I did a Q & A with the students in Broadway Artists Alliance’s summer intensive. They were such an enthusiastic group that it made it one of the best question and answer sessions I’ve ever been part of. As I was leaving, I ran into another former Billy castmate, ballet girl Danika Yarosh.
Alex, Trent, Dave & Buster's
No, not the name of a new movie- just a recap of last night! Alex was off, I was in the city and we had a few hours to entertain ourselves. We had a ton of fun and pulled in thousands of tickets.
Consider Yourself at Home....
Colin Bates was out on the island this past week and we caught up on Sunday. We brought him to my cousins’ house where we got some pool time in and more. I can hardly believe it’s been 5 years since we met at our first Billy audition!

1 of the Most Amazing Days of my Life.....
To start off the day, D-man, Tessa, Kelsey and I made sure that our dark marks were prepared and our wizarding uniforms were on so that we wouldn’t be mistaken while among the thousands of muggles waiting in line to get into Harry Potter World. All were amazed by Hogwarts Castle - it literally put Tessa and D-man to tears. We experienced the best ride EVER called Forbidden Journey. We got...

My mom, Dorothy and Carly came too so we took in the beach, the...
