Past and Future: “Cousin” in Everybody; “Georg” in She Loves Me
I just wrapped playing “Cousin” in Everybody by Brandon Jacobs-Jenkins. The production was directed by José Zayas and choreographed by Travis Prokop. The show played the Quintero Theatre November 1-10, 2024.
Up next, I’ll be playing a role I’ve always wanted to play— Georg Nowak in She Loves Me— to cap off my time at University of Houston. The show is directed by Molly Wetzel and choreographed by Travis Prokop, with music direction by Jonathan Craft! The show runs April 10-13, 2025 at the Moores School of Music!
