2016
December 19, 2016
I started 2016 under the direction and leadership of Thomas Caruso in Southern Comfort at The Public Theater. I couldn't be more excited to be back in his good graces closing out the year with Snow Way Out! at the York Theatre. Joining Leslie Margherita, Max Crumm and Lance Roberts, Snow Way Out! follows four random strangers who rent a rustic cabin, each hoping for a solitary holiday. But their plans are dashed when an AirBnB glitch and unforeseen blizzard leave them trapped together. A blackout, holiday spirits, and a mysterious body bag converge to prove that even if you can escape your family, you can't escape Christmas!

I've been so blessed to be a part of many benefits this year, but this one is very close to my heart. Come in from the chill, hear some awesome performances and help donate to a great cause! Broadway's Babies: Singing for the Children of India Benefit Concert will raise funds to directly support the children of Shanti Bhavan, a boarding school comprised ofover 200 children, aged 4-18, who come from families struggling with some of the worst poverty and discrimination in India.
