I am very fortunate to have participated in enlightening interviews. These interviews often allow me to share personal insights on the various projects that I work on, as part of a creative team and provide valuable opportunities to give the audience a glimpse into what has been accomplished. While I am currently independent from these organizations, I appreciated the meaningful ways that I have been permitted to interact with these productions.

2024
A wonderful opportunity to speak regarding The New Musical Company's original rock horror musical, Night Quintet, and to explain why performers do, what we do! Special thanks given to Travis Bruce of the Horror Realm for allowing the company members the opportunity to tell everyone about The New Musical Company's newest project.
I love to challenge the way that people experience theatre!!
As quoted, "For Halloween 2024, The New Musical Company premiered the rock-horror musical "Night Quintet" at the Théâtre Marni in Ixelles. For the author and composer of the show, the premise of which is reminiscent of an escape room, this was his first foray into the genre. "Five strangers wake up in a room. They don't know why. They are being manipulated by a psychopath who is telling them what
they have to do to survive."
