Check out the most exciting highlights from my favorite roles, and read about the unique challenges and rewarding experiences that shaped my love for the craft!
Shboom! - Life Could Be A Dream
I was thrilled to play the role of Denny in Cumberland County Playhouse's production of Shboom! Life Could Be A Dream, directed by Britt Hancock. This production was incredibly fun but also quite challenging. Being on stage for over two hours, with only quick changes and intermission to step away, required stamina and focus. Learning 23 songs packed with tight harmonies, along with choreographed dances, demanded a lot of dedication. On top of that, I had to maintain intense slapstick comedy energy throughout every moment in between. The whole process was deeply rewarding, and needless to say, I definitely got my cardio in! I formed strong bonds with everyone in the cast and crew, making this a show I’ll cherish for years to come.

White Christmas
In the winter of 2024, I had the wonderful opportunity to play the role of Bob Wallace in a delightful performance of White Christmas, which was skillfully directed by my great friend Bryce Dunn. Portraying this nuanced and complex character presented several challenges, particularly with the demanding singing parts that required both precise technique and heartfelt emotion. However, the aspect I found most challenging by far was definitely the dancing. With only minimal experience prior to this production, I had to outside of my comfort zone, dedicating countless hours to hone and improve my skills. Each rehearsal not only tested my determination and perseverance but also provided a rewarding sense of accomplishment as I began to see visible progress and gradually gain confidence in my dancing abilities.

Anastasia
Back in 2023, I had the immense privilege of playing the role of Dmitry in Audience of One’s production of Anastasia. Stepping into the shoes of such a complex character was both a challenge and a delight, allowing me to explore his charm and depth while navigating the captivating storyline. Bringing Dmitry to life on stage not only deepened my understanding of the character but also gave me the chance to connect with an audience that shared in the magic of the story. Each performance was a memorable experience, filled with laughter, emotion, and the joy of storytelling.

Fiddler on the Roof
In 2024, I played Perchick in Audience of One's production of Fiddler on the Roof. This role allowed me to showcase my acting abilities while connecting deeply with the story and its themes. Coming from Jewish descent and having a great-grandfather who fled persecution in Russia during the time this show takes place made the experience particularly special and dear to my heart. Portraying a character who is passionate about change and standing up for what is right resonated with my own family history, filling each performance with a profound sense of purpose and reverence.
