Comin for ya 2025!

2024 was a year full of theatre opportunities, new adventures, family, friends, and silliness. I took risks, changed jobs, and put myself out there. I am proud and so very grateful.

Thanks to @oillamptheater @theartistichome and especially @invictustheatrecochicago for bringing theatre back into my life in a big way. Cheers & thanks to the amazing friends and family who encouraged me.

I’m fortunate for every day. Here’s to wearing purple dresses and running with abandon!🥂

No drinks beyond this point >>>

Was reminded today of these absolutely epic photos taken by @cait_rex. Of course the salt shed staff was *totally* fine with us moving their sign to pose with it. Sometimes you just need a prop.

MACBETH (photo captions provided by my favorite 7th grader)

1) what the sigma
2) my little sigma, you’re so skibidi
3) stop capping
4) i’m cooked
5) put the fries in the bag bro
6) skibidi ohio rizz

Tbh, I don’t understand these captions. I did laugh a lot with Mariana while she came up with them. Macbeth might not be a barrel of laughs, but I sure have enjoyed working on this show. Teenage Whitney, who was gobsmacked watching King Lear at the Stratford Festival, dreamed of being part of a beautiful, tragic play just like this. Happy to have this opportunity now.

Running through Dec 15 @invictustheatrecochicago
🎟️ ticket link in bio 🎟️ dm for $25 tixs for this weekend
