International Tour Debut
I am ecstatic to be making my International Tour debut! I will be joining the ensemble of the International Tour of The Wizard of Oz as well as understudying the Scarecrow. Seeing the movie as a kid was one of the things that inspired my love for performing, so my inner child is very excited to be on this journey to Oz. I cannot wait to follow the yellow brick road and explore the world while doing it. For information about the tour visit The Wizard of Oz Tour website and maybe I'll see you over the rainbow. First stop: The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia!

Dear Friend...
This Summer I will be stepping into the role of Arpad Laszlo in She Loves Me with Clay & Wattles Theatre Company in Connecticut. Arpad is a delivery boy who is both ambitious and eager to please.

It Was the Music of Something Beginning...
Next up I will be performing in the ensemble in a new workshop of Ahrens and Flaherty's Ragtime. This workshop is a follow up to the site specific concert, Ragtime on Ellis Island. The creative team is using this to workshop new ideas in preparation to produce a fully staged site specific production of Ragtime on Ellis Island. I have wanted to work on this show for years and I cannot wait to delve into this extremely timely and relevant show.

I'm Flying!
While in rehearsals for Peter Pan with Prather Theatre Group I was asked to be the Peter Pan understudy and I recently got the opportunity to go on as Peter. I have always cherished the character of Peter Pan and I am over the moon that I got a chance to bring this beloved character to life for one night. It truly was a dream come true and I hope to someday revisit this beautiful story. I can't stay in Neverland forever, but I am excited for the prospect of the new experiences to come. "To live would be an awfully big adventure."
I Won't Grow Up
This summer I will be in Lancaster, Pennsylvania performing in Prather Entertainment Group's production of Peter Pan. I will be playing Twin, the Lost Boy. I will also be understudying the role of Peter Pan. I have always loved the story of Peter Pan and I am overjoyed to be exploring the world of Neverland. The show runs from June 29th to August 12th. For tickets and more information visit the Dutch Apple website and hopefully I will see you there: "second star to the right, and straight on till morning".

I am thrilled to be going on my first national tour with ArtsPower National Touring Company's production of Amber Brown is Not a Crayon. I will be playing Justin Daniels, Amber Brown's best friend at school. Amber and Justin are the perfect team, but now that Justin is moving to Alabama what will happen?

Tennnessee Williams in Provincetown
I will be going to Provincetown, Massachusetts to join the cast of Peregrine Theatre Ensemble's Blue Dusk, gay plays by Tennessee Williams. I will be playing Jerry Johnson in And Tell Sad Stories of the Deaths of Queens... from August 27th to September 18th. The LGBT community is often under represented in storytelling, so I feel honored to have the opportunity to perform this material. For tickets and more information visit the Peregrine Theatre Ensemble website.
New York Musical Festival
In June I begin rehearsals for a New York Musical Festival developmental reading of Daughter of the Waves. This new musical by Eileen Connolly tells the story of a traveling circus troupe that smuggles Jewish refugees out of Nazi Europe. I will be playing Hans, a German refugee.
