Which play from the 2026-27 season excites you most and why?
I am most excited for The Girl on the Train! I’m very interested in seeing how all of the different elements are portrayed on stage, especially the train itself!
What is your favorite part of working in theatre?
I love the community aspect! Coming together to work on a show is such an intimate process, and it’s so incredible to see your hard work go out into the world and how audiences react to it. There is something so special about a room full of people watching something together that will never happen again exactly the same.

I am really excited for all of The Girl on the Train, from working on practical lights, to hanging and focusing all the lights, and especially seeing the programmer work during tech.
What’s your favorite memory at the Alley?
My favorite memory at the Alley is from a day I spent maintaining Fresnel Lights. I found one that was not working correctly, so I got to take it apart, figure out what was wrong, and put it all back together again. It was a lot of fun getting to figure out the issue myself and how to fix it.
