Since 2006 I’ve been playing for musical theatre stage productions with Cabrillo Stage, Jewel Theatre Company, and Shakespeare Santa Cruz. Musical theater is a gig like no other. It requires a great deal of mental focus, reading chops and patience. After weeks of preparation it is really exciting to see how everyone’s hard work comes together to create the magic of theater.  It’s fun and rewarding to be an integral part of an orchestra playing precisely to the timing of the show while the actors are onstage.
