Riverside, CA

Played Wendla in this rock musical adaptation of the 1891 coming-of-age tragedy, directed by Matt Neves.

"Cautious, mechanical repetitions of 'Can I touch you?' compose the strategy one adopts during early rehearsals for an onstage sex scene."

- excerpt from an essay written midway through the show's run called "On Riverside Rep's Spring Awakening and Skin: Why It Isn't (and is) About Boobs." Read it here.
