About me!
Casey was born and raised in BUMP-ASS Virginia, unfortunate name for a small town. She grew up as an ultra-competitive ice skater, but left the ice to pursue her passion for story telling.
Casey holds a BFA in theatre performance with a minor in musical theatre from Virginia Commonwealth University. She has performed all over Virginia. Casey has two cats! Bentley and Moose, whom she adores.
Casey is a seemingly innocent young lady with a sharp edge; the perfect combination of softness and strength. She is the slightly awkward-yet loyal, well-meaning best friend or the unexpected, young woman that holds a dangerous secret. Casey is typically perceived as sweet and wholesome, yet her captivating, electric dark eyes hold a powerful intensity that could kill. She has a fierce determination to fight for what is right, similar to Celia Keenan Bolger's earnest performance in Peter and the Starcatcher. She has the intense-yet vulnerable, fearless energy of Anya Taylor-Joy, with a subtle bite-reminiscent of Sissy Spacek in Carrie, where terror and innocence collide in a perfect storm.
Presented by VCUarts Theatre, The Crucible by Arthur Miller, directed by Emily Mattison approached the text through a female lens, highlighting the strength of the girls and women in a patriarchal society. Knowing their fate is in the hands of men they learn what they need to do to survive. They find their power.
