At the end of “Springtime for Hitler”, there is a famous swastika spinning pinwheel that Ulla is supposed to be a part of, along with the whole cast. I remember one blooper during a preview that made me laugh until I cried. In any Mel Brooks show, there is a constant theme of pure laughter from the moment you start rehearsal to the end of the run. One of my favorite shows at the Barnstormer’s was The Producers. I have so many fond memories of my summers in Tamworth filled with joyous opening nights, afternoons at Lake Chocorua, late night rehearsals in the Gilman, post-show bonfires, and learning from so many talented company members. Throughout my summers in Tamworth, I have met some of my closest friends in a three-week contract at the Barnstormers. And I was right…I was immediately welcomed into the Barnstormer’s community by the warmest, kindest, and most generous company members I have ever met. Not only did I want to perform on the Barnstormer’s stage, I wanted to be a part of that big group of actors that I would see walking together around Tamworth because they all looked like they were best friends for years. It was always a dream of mine to be a part of a Barnstormer’s show. I live in NYC but my family lives in North Conway and we would always try to see local summer theatre when I was growing up. I have since played Ulla in The Producers and Lola in Damn Yankees. I auditioned in NYC for Janet in The Drowsy Chaperone and the rest is history. My first Barnstormer’s show was The Drowsy Chaperone in 2015.
