Teaching Acting has always been my true passion. Thank you to my colleagues at the Region IV American College Theatre Festival for honoring me with the National Alliance of Acting Teachers of Excellence Award. I am truly honored, humbled, and grateful.

Last year, as we recovered from the hurricane, I wasn't great at celebrating the work that I did. I'd like to make up for that now. Last January, I directed John Proctor is the Villain by Kimberly Bellflower at USC Upstate. It is one of my favorite new plays!

I’m so excited to be back at Centre Stage this time onstage. Is the first major role I performed since the girls were born. It’s always great to get back to my first love, acting, especially with this wonderful team.

Directing two shows back to back after dealing with the hurricane as hard. I’m tired. But it was uplifting to hear these songs of about love each night. Thank you to my amazing colleagues! Congratulations to our wonderful students! @uscupstatetheatre
