Q: Is this your first show with Live Arts and what are some of the other shows you have done with us?
- Nope. This is not my first show. I have worked on every single LAT show in one capacity or another.
Q: What attracted you to Children of Eden?
- This is my absolute favorite Stephen Schwartz show. I discovered it early in my college career when it first came out. Several years later, my college program did the show and I fell even more in love with it. The score and the orchestrations are absolutely fantastic.
Q: Name two fun facts about you.
A: I have competed in the National Gingerbread House competition and I love cheese in all forms and varieties.
Q: What can audiences look forward to with Children of Eden and why should they come see it?
A: The live orchestra and our singers. So many beautiful voices and the orchestrations will come to life through our live orchestra.
Q: While Children of Eden is a Biblical show, based on the book of Genesis, It has a universal and timeless message. What does this mean to you?
A: I want to include a favorite quote from the show that I think sums it up fairly well “There is no journey gone so far, so far we cannot stop and change direction. No doom is written in the stars, it’s on our hands.”
