AWESOME ANNOUNCEMENT

2/29/2016

I am so happy to finally be able to announce that I will be playing the awesome role of Zack, the guitar player, in the KOTA (Kids of the Arts) Production of School of Rock! The other kids in the show are so incredibly talented and amazing, having appeared in The Sound of Music on NBC, Annie, The Lion King, and many other Broadway shows and tours. I am so honored to be a part of this production and to share the stage with them! Thanks so much, Laura Luc and KOTA, I can't wait for rehearsals to begin!

I love Broadway shows AND supporting my friends, so nothing beats both at the same time!

As a surprise, my dad got my family front-row tickets to see the show "Fun Home" on Saturday, so I got to see my very talented friend Oscar Williams perform the role of Christian Bechdel. The amazing Gabriella Pizzolo played Small Alison and Zell Steele Morrow was John, and, yeah, the adults were all really awesome, too!!!

Me and the Fun Home Kids: Oscar, Gabriella Pizzolo, Zell Steele Morrow, Alessandra Baldacchino, & Presley Ryan.

There's nothing like a last-minute run to Party City for a costume needed for a school project...and then running into yourself - twice! I don't even remember shooting the cape photo, and then I turned a corner and found myself on permanent display in the costume aisle!

LINCOLN CENTER

Last Sunday night I had the opportunity to go with Erich to see our friend Oscar Williams in a special performance of "The Secret Garden" at Lincoln Center. The parts were all played by incredible vocal talents from theater and film (including the amazing Ben Platt, Sierra Boggess, Cheyenne Jackson, Ramin Karimloo, and Oscar's former co-star from "Fun Home", Sydney Lucas). The show was absolutely incredible and very special.

Even better, it was great to go with my friend and run into other kids and people we know from the theater, including my voice coach, Badiene Magaziner, performance coach Trapper Felides and John Canning. Also spotted in the audience were some cool stars like Neil Patrick Harris and Jake Gyllenhaal. It was such a great time, totally worth it on a school night!

Erich, Me, Jack and Carrie Berk.

BACK TO THE HIGHLINE - BEST OF SEASON

Every winter the local Schools of Rock get together and produce a large show at the Highline Ballroom, showcasing some of each school's best songs from the prior season, and they call the show "Best of Season". Again I was very lucky to be in one of the songs that was presented at Best of Season this past weekend, singing Green Day's "Sassafras Roots" at this incredible venue with my very talented and cool bandmates. And, it was another opportunity to spray my hair green! :)

With some of my awesome talented bandmates - Ian, Jared, Abby and Tara.

SKI BREAK

Every year my family goes skiing for a few days; it's a great way for all of us to have fun together, outdoors, away from school and work and everything we do at home. When I was younger, we stayed East for skiing - Killington, Mt. Snow, Stratton and Stowe - but when my brother and I started getting pretty good we started traveling out West. Last year we went to Aspen, Colorado, but while the slopes were great, it was very cold. This year we went to Park City, Utah with our cousins and it was just awesome! Park City has a great variety of steep and bumpy slopes, and a really fun terrain park with different kinds of jumps to practice on. But the best part was the weather, which varied from 35-50 degrees at the base. Really warm skiing!

I need to keep my video and audio files up to date so that my agent and the casting directors know what I've been working on and how my skills have improved, so I spent a little time in the studio last week with my coach Pete to record a vocal demo. Mom shot some video to go with the audio, but luckily we got what we needed in three takes - video coming soon! The song is a Motown classic; next week I'm going to record a ballad, too.
