I worked as an understudy for Boli, Gabby, and Soyla in American Mariachi at the Pacific Conservatory Theatre! I made my PCPA debut, swinging on or Soyla July 19-July 22.

“An all-girl mariachi band? In the 70s when women can’t be mariachis? We’ll just see about that! American Mariachi is an uplifting comedy about family, the freedom to go after your dreams, and the music that unites us –– played live on stage!”
