I'm on Buzzfeed!
My boyfriend and I filmed a video for Distractify in which we we describe each other to a police sketch artist. The results are pretty ridiculous. Just found out it's being featured on Buzzed, and now I'm a GIF. Sarah Cassell, Girl of the 21st Century. Check it out on Buzzfeed and Distractify. Or just watch it right here.

Closing Show of GABI GOES GREEN at George Street Playhouse
We close our tour on May 22 with a performance of Gabi Goes Green. George Street Playhouse. 11 am. Be there or be square.
Cast Album of GABI GOES GREEN
This photo depicts a successful afternoon spent recording the cast album of Gabi Goes Green in the awesome home recording studio of Matt Castle and Frank Galgano. I'm so proud of where we have taken this show and what it has become - it's going to educate a lot of students, and on top of that, it's a really heartfelt and entertaining piece of theater.
The end of the tour is approaching in three weeks, a bittersweet fact, and I can't help but reflect on all the opportunities it has afforded me and how much I have learned. It has been such a fantastic experience.
Me, geeking out about recording Gabi Goes Green, by Barry Wyner and Daniel Israel
I've already started preparing for my return to the city, where I have to figure out my life like all the other poor souls here (literally, we're so poor). But for now, I'm going to soak up my last few weeks as a Jersey girl. Whatever that means.
GABI GOES GREEN World Premiere
Today we had our first public performance of Gabi Goes Green, by Barry Wyner and Daniel Israel. Rousing success!

Workshop Performance of GABI GOES GREEN at GSP
Today, we put librettist Barry Wyner's and composer Daniel Israel's new musical, Gabi Goes Green, on its feet! We spent two weeks rehearsing for a workshop presentation of the show, which we performed here at George Street Playhouse. We'll be leaving rehearsals to go on the road with our other shows for a while, but when we return in March we'll start adding all the fun production values like sets and costumes. According to design concepts, we're all going to have shiny green superhero jumpsuits.
Originating a role has been one of the coolest experiences I've ever had. I can't wait for people to see this show fully produced. What makes it especially fun is the fact that the show is about an issue that really matters to me - climate change. I love that George Street is taking the initiative to bring awareness to students in a really accessible way. More news (and photos) to come as Gabi Goes Green develops!
Vlog Update
Here's the latest video blog from the touring cast at George Street Playhouse. This one features me talking about my character, Mencha, in New Kid.
Vlog Updates from George Street Playhouse
We've been touring for almost two months now, and one of my cast mates has started making video blogs to document our experience. He's going to keep updating and creating new ones, so stay posted!
The second one makes it look like we do no work at all. This is what happens when we have long breaks during two show days...
