Sunny Days Ahead!!
I am thrilled to annonce that I have accepted a FULL TIME position at Sesame Place. I will now serve as their Associate Manager of Events & Productions. In my new role, I will be responsible for the planning and execution of all events presented by the park. I will also serve as co-producer with the rest of the Full-time team on new shows and Entertainment experiences. I'll still be involved in the training and performance maintenance of our characters, actors, singers, and puppeteers. I can't wait for the new challenges and to help create more magical experiences for the families that come to our park. NOW, does this mean I will not be performing anymore? Absolutely not! I have the soul of a performer and I can't give it up that easily. I will still be keeping my Equity card and seeking out roles when I can. This new job will give me the opportunities I've been craving to explore more of the artistic and organizational sides of my brain. I couldn't be more excited!! Here's to many sunny days ahead!

PINOCCHIO

The cast is amazing, the music is adorable, there are jokes for the young and the old, it's the entertaining story of Pinocchio like you have never seen it before!
