And just like that… it’s over. 🎭✨ After a whirlwind two-day run, the Hansel and Gretel  sets are coming down — all that work, now carefully ripped apart, packed up, and loaded into a truck. Tomorrow morning, I’ll be driving the drops back to L.A. before noon. 🚛💨 It’s been a wild ride — long hours, late nights, and a lot of creative chaos — but I’m so  proud of what I accomplished. Seeing it all come to life on that stage made every bit of effort worth it. 💪🎨💫 #LiveYourD

I’m honestly so happy how incredible the Hansel and Gretel  sets turned out! 🍭🎭 I’ve designed plenty of sets before, but never for a space this grand —and seeing everything come together with the lighting and projections has me absolutely in awe. It’s pure storybook magic. Huge thank-you to my wonderful dream team — Larry, Tim, Buffy, Sean, and Nate — for helping bring my vision to life (and then some). You guys made the candy-coated forest of my imagination real, and I cou

Today is a dark day for the actors — but not for me! 🎭✨ I’m meeting with our brilliant lighting designer Nate to go over a few final details before tomorrow’s show. I’ve poured so much time, energy, and love into this project, and I honestly can’t wait for that moment when the curtain rises and everything we’ve worked on comes to life. 🌟 Tomorrow’s the big day — and I’m so ready. 💪🎨💡 #LiveYourDream #CreativeHealing #ThisIsMyStory #Theater #Musicals #ToxicPeople#StrippedA

Well, everything is finally complete , and it’s all going according to plan! 🙌🎭 I’ll also be working backstage , so thank God my leadership skills  will come in handy — LOL. 😅 I really love working with the PAC team  — they totally know their shit and make everything run so smoothly. 💪✨ It’s gonna be a day ! 🚀 #LiveYourDream #CreativeHealing #ThisIsMyStory #Theater #Musicals #ToxicPeople#StrippedAMemior #MentalHealthMatters #FromStageToPage #HealingThroughArt #Vulnerably

I just spent 12 hours in the theater, and I am exhausted ! 😴🎭 Thank God I’m staying with Larry and Deborah — so grateful to have such wonderful hosts and a cozy place to rest my weary body after a long day of tech and set work. 💛 #LiveYourDream #CreativeHealing #ThisIsMyStory #Theater #Musicals #ToxicPeople#StrippedAMemior #MentalHealthMatters #FromStageToPage #HealingThroughArt #VulnerablyBold #Depression #Manipulation #Bipolar #BreakingTheStigma #TheaterAndTherapy

Just drove 5 hours to get to the pre-load-in at the PAC… only to find out they changed the call time from 1 PM to 10 AM. 😤 I rolled in at 12:30 — not exactly the welcome I was hoping for! Definitely not  the best way to start this day. #LiveYourDream #CreativeHealing #ThisIsMyStory #Theater #Musicals #ToxicPeople#StrippedAMemior #MentalHealthMatters #FromStageToPage #HealingThroughArt #VulnerablyBold #Depression #Manipulation #Bipolar #BreakingTheStigma #TheaterAndTherapy
