“I have seen so much loss in my immediate community and creating places for everyone to process and find happiness and try out things they want to try has become so important to me in my artistic practice.”

“This show was created with a very peculiar process- which means it won’t look like a traditional “well made play”. It’s more akin to a bacchanalian band of satyrs, who have ritualized the themes of American Society.”

“I’ve learned a lot about the power of not-knowing, and not needing to know – the creative activation inherent in unsolved mysteries…”

“Essentially we just want to have fun and create emotive experiences along the way. The struggles of the world motivate us to be even sillier!”

“It’s too easy to spin a good yarn for laughs and feel-goods, but ultimately I’m hoping to learn something about myself and share it.”

“People are often gravely uncomfortable talking about a time they had to go hungry. But do they dwell just as much on the times they were fed?”

“(At Fringe) you can break the conventions of traditional storytelling because the audience has no expectations for what they’re about to see. The freedom to explore in these unconventional ways is why so many of us create art.”

“I’m deeply fascinated by the idea of hauntings. I’ve felt haunted. And ignoring a ghost is not the same as exorcising it.”

“Each day I had to constantly affirm I was good enough and what I was creating was interesting and valid! That first draft pushed me so outside my comfort zone.”

“What it’s really about is being okay with grey areas, never believing in one thing so hard that you can’t allow yourself a little wonder, to allow yourself the gift of asking ‘what if?'”

“I think we as artists, and particularly women, put so much of ourselves into our art and it can be incredibly unnerving to put your art out there for potential criticism.”

“Much of this show draws from or takes place in the dreamworld, which is a nightly source of creative material with which I have been able to cultivate a strong relationship even in times of social isolation.”

“I wanted to take my craving for the camp and comedy and find theater lovers just as enthusiastic as I was to bring this story to life.”

“Instead of trying to write a novel, I adapted the story for the stage as a kind of La Bohème or Rent set in L5P.”

“Telling a story onstage is a great way to get the last word against anyone who’s wronged you.”

“Fringe Festivals are great because artists are not beholden any type of regulatory body – no rules!”

“By the end of the show, you’ll likely believe that Time Travel will be possible someday and I’ll even tell you how I think we’ll do it. But I’m going to make you laugh first.”

“We just came off of a format we had been doing called Made Up Movie Night that was a little more structured, and we wanted to create something unique but a little more loose and wild.”

“When you tell your own story, no matter how unique it is, others will resonate with it if you are honest and vulnerable because as humans we experience the same feelings, just in different ways.”

“I love being on stage, in front of people, doing what I love best, seeking attention and approval!”

“This is a big “F You” to everyone who makes you shut down that side of you that just wants to sing, who just wants to dance.”

“When I was going through my life changes and reminiscing on my past and the dreams I had as a kid, it inspired me to share a story about dance and dreams to inspire others to follow their passion.  That’s how Rhythm of Love the Musical was born.”

“Navigating the challenges of COVID and its aftermath sparked a profound shift within me. Thus, I embarked on a journey to create a show that not only captivates but also provokes thought.”

“As we had conversations about our families including retirement, care-taking, and the general joys of aging, the piece evolved into abstract storytelling in order to share elements of our own familial histories and influences.”

“I’ve always been a fan of Edgar Allan Poe. Once I read through The Masque of The Red Death, I instantly knew that it would lend itself easily to my vision.”

“Although it seems like the whole world has paused in the past few years, it has also been a good opportunity for observation. It allowed me to more deeply feel the essence of life,”
