Hello! My name is Shayna, or Shay if you’re feeling friendly, and I am a born and raised Jersey girl who graduated from Missouri State University with a BFA in Musical Theatre and minor in Management. Since then, I moved back to the east coast and have dived right into the arts!

I love to consume media and create! I am constantly knitting a sweater, updating my Goodreads account, and reviewing through Letterboxd. In fact, you didn’t ask for it but, yes, I will tell you my list of favorite movies and shows! In no particular order:

- Knives Out

- Arcane

- Everything Everywhere All At Once

- Yellowjackets 

- The Holdovers

- Moulin Rouge

-Theatre Camp

- 10 Things I Hate About You

- Bottoms

- Star Wars Rebels (the inspiration for my laptop stickers)

- Soul

- Delicious in Dungeon 

- My Fair Lady

- Alice in Wonderland (Tim Burton’s version inspired my Bat Mitzvah décor)

I like campy comedy and all things cozy! In another life I lived in a cabin and tended to my garden all day. In this life, I have a million houseplants and a good book on me at all times. Also, I am a breakfast food fanatic, I love going to yoga, and I WILL be finishing my gallon of water every day. If that doesn’t paint my picture then check out my Pinterest page HERE! 

Other than that, I love my art. Performance is my passion and sharing that expression is what makes me feel human. There’s nothing quite like consuming the contents of a script or reading the construction of notes to a song. It’s giving life to paper and I love to dig my way through it. 

Thanks for reading!
