~Introducing Me~ 🎭🎼🥖

in introduceyourself •  6 years ago 

Well hello there steemit! My name is Carrie, I am a 22-year-old writer, lyricist, actor, and singer trying to find her way through New York City!

AKA I'm a walking cliché, I know.

I recently graduated from Northwestern University with a double major in Theatre and Sociology, and next year I'll be attending graduate school in New York for musical theatre writing. My dream is to follow in the footsteps of writers like Lin Manuel Miranda and maybe even be in my own musical.

Here's a picture of me ~acting~ in Heathers the Musical at school:

As a writer, I've worked on around nine different shows now, at school and for professional gigs as well. I am currently working on my first full project, a song cycle about my sister's 13 Ex-Boyfriends called "13 Stages of Katie." If you want to hear more about the insane stories of their relationships (think breaking up on the Eiffel tower, translating texts, 6'9'' organ majors, Orthodox Russians, fake colleges, threesomes, cheating, gay Frenchmen and more) I'd be happy to post things I'm working on.

I'd also love to help you guys out if you ever need a lyricist on your projects!

If you want to hear more of my music you can listen to it here: https://soundcloud.com/carrie-caffrey
or
If you want to hear me sing you can go to my website here: https://www.carriecaffrey.me/original-music/

Outside the theatre, I am very passionate about puzzles, books, and bread.

I intend to write about all three of those things on steemit, as well as theatre things because lets be honest​, there's no way I can avoid that. I run an Instagram​ devoted to finding the world's best bread (@ourdailybreadtour) and will undoubtedly be reporting my findings here.

Finally, I hope to share my stories- good, bad, ugly, or fictional- with you all in the hopes that maybe we can all learn from my mistakes. In the words of one of my favorite musical theatre writers Lynn Ahrens, "our lives become the stories that we weave" and I want to tell as many stories as I can in this short life we've been given. I want to be a valuable member of the steemit community, and I'm so excited to get started! Thank you all for welcoming me :)

in closing, here's one of my favorite riddles: "If I'm holding a bee in my hand, what do I​ have in my eye?"
