Oh, how I love playing in musicals! In fact, when I was sixteen (going on seventeen) my father took me to see Phantom of the Opera in San Francisco. The first thing I did upon entering the theater was run straight up to the pit orchestra, lean my head over, wave to the horn players and say "Someday, I'll be doing what you're doing!" The following year, I was invited to play my very first paid gig with Cabrillo Stage in Aptos, CA. The show? You guessed it! It was The Sound of Music.
Sixteen years later, here I am playing The Sound of Music with Broadway Rose Theatre Company! We just finished an inspiring and heartwarming opening weekend, and are happy to be working on this show for the next three weekends.
Hope to see you in the following weeks! And when you come to see the show... please don't hesitate to come visit the orchestra and say 'hi'! We love it when you do that!! (At least I do, in any case...)

Another fun tidbit of this show is that during rehearsals for our production, our Captain Von Trapp (played by Portland's own Isaac Lamb) became world famous for proposing to his fiancé in the most epic way. This video is a feelgood must see!
