Les Misérables

At thirteen, I was invited to audition for Gavroche in Les Misérables with Ptarmigan Ptheatrics in Yellowknife. The director remembered me as Molly in Annie and saw something in that energy. His encouragement meant so much to me.

Gavroche gave me room to be bold, playful and completely committed. I explored his anger, courage and vulnerability, and learned how much understanding a character can change a performance.

I still remember the cast singing together, growing from a whisper into a full chorus. Being part of that sound was incredible. Gavroche remains one of the roles I carry closest to my heart.
