Unapologetic Former Theater Kid

[thxfive]

Hi! I’m Jess, a 28 year old former theater kid. While I don’t act anymore, I still deeply love theater. This blog is a space to talk (and sometimes scream) about all things Broadway and theater related.

To get to know me better, here are my top 5 favorite musicals of all time: The Sound of Music, Into the Woods, Tick Tick Boom, Company, and Ernest Shackleton Loves Me.
