MY ENTERTAINMENT CALENDAR.
MSC POESIA: SHOW UP PRODUCTIONS

I will be performing in two cabaret shows a night including road to nowhere, club disco, live from msc, picture perfect, total divas, and more in the Teatro Carlo Felice theater along with several pop up shows around the ship throughout the day.
Love Comes Softly
The beloved, best-selling book by Janette Oke has been given new life in this brand new musical written and composed by Christy Chavers Stutzman, the same composer who brought you "When Calls the Heart the Musical" and "A Musical Christmas Carol" now being performed on stages around the world. The Round Barn Theatre is proud to present the world premiere of this heart-touching, brand new production, "Love Comes Softly: The Musical." It will sweep you away with its big west sounds, toe-tapping rhythms, and soaring ballads. When newlywed Marty Claridge sets out on a wagon train with her beloved Clem, seeking "The Promise of Home" in the western frontier, she is faced with sudden tragedy and a heart wrenching decision that will determine her very survival in a rugged wilderness. As she struggles with loss and grief, she finds herself surrounded by a community of neighbors who teach her lessons of generosity, kindness, and faith in God. Neighbors turn to family, bringing laughter and hilarity while a marriage of necessity takes a surprising turn. Through it all, Marty finds "The Promise of Home" in unexpected ways as she comes to her own faith and learns that sometimes, Love Comes Softly.
MYSTIC PIZZA
Based on the beloved 1988 MGM rom-com, Mystic Pizza is a new musical about three working-class girls who navigate the complexities of life, love and family in a “Small Town” pizza joint. With selections from the 80’s and 90’s by artists such as Melissa Etheridge, Cyndi Lauper, John Mellencamp, Wilson Phillips, The Bangles, Belinda Carlisle, Bryan Adams, and many others this show will make you “Hold On” to the edge of your seat.
I am very grateful to be joining the cast of MYSTIC PIZZA as George/Alfie with Tent Theatre at the John Goodman Amphitheater! Although I will only be at Missouri State for a month, I am extremely excited for what this new adventure will bring! As I travel back to the 80’s to figure out what’s the secret ingredient in the best pizza known to Connecticut is…I am expecting you to get your tickets and come “Into the Mystic” with this incredible cast and crew.
XANADU
Based on the Universal Pictures cult classic movie of the same title, this Tony Award-nominated fun-filled, roller skating, musical adventure about following your dreams rolls along to the original hit score. A Greek muse inspires love, laughter and the world’s first roller disco in this 1980s inspired glitter explosion. Xanadu delivers upon the legacy of the American musical comedy in perfect pitch, as audiences follow Kira, a young muse from Mt. Olympus, whose quest to inspire a struggling artist to achieve his dream is complicated by the prospect of forbidden love with a mortal. Lace up your skates for this electrifying tale full of chart-topping hits! You are going to want to book your seats early as Xanadu is jammed full of silly bliss and is probably the most fun you’ll have at the SHULER STAGE this season.
CABARET

It is 1929, a time when the world is changing forever, there is one place where everyone can be free…Welcome to the Kit Kat Club this is Berlin. Relax. Loosen up. Be yourself. One of the most successful musicals of all time, this production features the songs Wilkommen, Don’t Tell Mama, Mein Herr, Maybe This Time, Money and the title number Cabaret.
MAY WE ALL: A NEW COUNTRY MUSICAL
From Brian Kelley of Florida Georgia Line, May We All is a musical about the spirit and sense of community that is the core of country music. May We All features hit songs from both modern and classic country stars, paying tribute to the legends and trailblazers that have made the music what it is today. May We All takes you to Harmony, Tennessee, “the town that sings”, where music used to flow through every part of town like the water supply, but lately hope is drying up.
BEAUTIFUL: THE CAROLE KING MUSICAL
AFTER 6 REMARKABLE YEARS ON BROADWAY, THE TONY® AND GRAMMY®- WINNING TRIUMPH WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE THE EARTH MOVE AT THE TITUSVILLE PLAYHOUSE! From the string of pop classics Carole King wrote for the biggest acts in music, to her own life-changing, chart-busting success with Tapestry, BEAUTIFUL takes you back to where it all began—and takes you on the ride of a lifetime. Featuring over two dozen pop classics, including “You’ve Got a Friend,” “One Fine Day,” “Up on the Roof,” “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling,” “Will You Love Me Tomorrow,” and “Natural Woman,” this crowd-pleasing international phenomenon is filled with the songs you remember—and the story you’ll never forget.
GO DOG GO
P. D. Eastman’s classic children’s book comes to life on stage in an exploration of movement, color, and music. The dogs delve into life with gusto, creating a visual spectacle for the audience to feast upon. They snorkel. They howl at the moon. They ride a Ferris Wheel. They sing and dance and climb trees. The play’s bustle and commotion pauses every so often for a moment or two of reflection, and then sweeps us again into the whirlwind of these lovable and goofy dogs.
THE WIZARD OF OZ
There truly is no place like home as the greatest family musical of all time, The Wizard of Oz, twists its way to the Titusville Playhouse! The entire family will delight in lavish costumes, spectacular sets and the songs “Over The Rainbow,” “Munchkinland (Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead),” “If I Only Had A Brain/A Heart/The Nerve,” “We’re Off To See The Wizard (Follow The Yellow Brick Road),” and “The Merry Old Land of Oz.” This show will be an event to enjoy with those you love and hold most dear, a memory for all to share and cherish for years to come, right at the time of year where we hold family a little bit tighter.
