My favorite photos are the ones that are taken behind the curtain! We often get bored between shows or in the studio, and lots of shenanigans ensue. I take a lot of selfies to document my shows when there are no photographers. I love looking back and seeing all the places I’ve been, how much fun I had, my different costumes and all the fun memories. I hope you’ll enjoy these, too!
I’ve posted them in random order, because let’s be honest, I don’t even recall the exact chronological order these were taken in! I’ll be working on adding captions (and more photos) over time.

Dancing in Boise with Diandra and Molly Malone. At a Denny’s at like 2am trying to be awake! We drove almost 10 hours through a blizzard on the way back. What an adventure!

One of the few backstage photos from Arabesque 2017! It was a tight show with short costume changes. Here we are in our costumes for the piece “Wanderers”

One of our appearances on the news promoting Arabesque! We were up at 4am for makeup, went home for a short nap, re-did our hair and makeup and were in the theater from 2pm-11pm for the show. Worth every second!
