What I've Been Up To...

There hasn't been any updates to my blog for several reasons because a.) up until a few weeks ago, I was a graduate student at NYU Tisch School of The Arts as a Graduate Musical Theatre Program student, b.) I was busy interning [NYU Press, Theater Movement Company, Primary Stages] and c.) I've been building my portfolio up and writing two full-length musicals. My thesis musical Cherry*Bomb was directed by Nick Corey (actor: She Loves Me 1993 revival, Mary Poppins 2006 OBC, The Mystery of Edwin Drood 2013 revival) with a cast of on- and off-Broadway actors. During my two years in the program, I also wrote an original 20-minute musical titled "The Vitruvian Man" that was written with composer Avi Amon, and starred Jason Tam (A Chorus Line 2006 Broadway revival, Lysistrata Jones 2011 OBC), Adam Monley (Mamma Mia! 2001 OBC) and Stephen Mitchell Brown (Jekyll and Hyde 2013 revival). 

Where am I now? Interning at the New York Musical Theater Festival. See?

In it's tenth year, we've redesigned and reconfigured an entirely new Web site (which I aided in a lot of the back-end stuff,  uploading the music, images, cast profiles, as well as the proofreader and editor, etc.), and have won a Special Award from the Drama Desk! I'm the Marketing Intern and Social Media intern. During the internship, I have and will work alongside industry heads to curate the festival, speak to vendors (hotels, restaurants) to implement deals for our 40,000+ members and produce and designate a dialog with the public across various online platforms (Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook, etc.), among others.
