Mine's not a moment, but it's a dream I have in the week leading up to opening night of pretty much any show I ever do. My dream is this: I'm running around backstage trying to find missing pieces of my costume while the show is happening on stage and I know I'm going to miss my entrance. Talk about a nightmare!

I absolutely love playing Dungeons and Dragons. I’ve been playing since around 2018. I’m currently a Dungeon Master for 1 campaign that’s lasted over 3 years, just had the 1 year anniversary of a game I’m a player in, and am starting a new campaign in the next month or so! It’s probably my favorite hobby (that’s not theatre, of course!)

The first musical I ever performed in was Mary Poppins as a freshman in high school. During one performance, someone accidentally triggered the fire alarm, causing the sprinklers to go off onstage in the middle of "Step in Time." We somehow managed to finish the number before the show was stopped, and the cast later affectionately dubbed the incident "Hurricane Poppins."

During the Christmas show last year, there was a scene where myself and a couple others had to do a dance number on hoverboards. We also happened to be dressed as mummies. Due to fog machines and slippery floors, we had to end up ditching the hoverboards in the middle of the number and ended up just walking around like zombies for the majority of the song. I’d never laughed so much - shoutout Morgan and Jaycee miss y’all.

Lyn is so excited to be a part of a Pickleville On Tour show this summer! She has been moving ever since she was little, with a background in gymnastics and dance.

This fall, she will be moving to Los Angeles to continue pursuing a career in stunts.

During the run of Murder on the Nile I walked on stage and said my first line. Which was to order my maid around. But I called her by completely the wrong name. Instead I called her a different character's name (who was in the scene with us). I'm sure everyone saw my shock as I did a very poor job of covering my embarrassment of that blunder. 🙃
