My final mainstage production at Ball State University, I was grateful to take on a classic Sondheim show in my senior year. Although I would love to direct musicals, this was actually my first time working on one! I learned so much from Bill and Dee Dee about efficiency, pacing, and working with a large cast. Without much warning, my grandma passed away during this production process. Needless to say, "sometimes poeple leave you halfway through the wood," hit a little harder every night than ever before.
