Cheerleader

For three years, I was an NFL cheerleader. People often ask what it was like, and I generally respond, "I think you'd be surprised." I know I was. When I finally made the Baltimore Ravens Cheerleaders in 2006, I expected to work hard, but I wasn't expecting to meet the kinds of women who go into this - doctors, lawyers, engineers, educators, mothers - or how much I would change as a person. This is the story of my journey through audition disasters, teen angst, adult angst, and just enough success to keep me chasing the dream for thirty years to the NFL.

Emerging Artists returns with their one-of-a-kind festival. Visit the theater any evening during this three-week event, and you'll find yourself transported in a number of surprising ways: by a single performer embodying a whole host of characters; by a more experimental theater piece "done differently" that challenges and delights; by a cozy two-person show exploring relationships; or perhaps by a bouncy new musical that will have you humming. Emerging Artists has always been about new works, new talents, new voices. That's never been more evident than now.

NO REFUNDS will be granted.
