About Me

I’m Caitlin, and I’m finally coming through the other side of my quarter-life crisis. I live in Florida with my spoiled little cats, Hiccup Horrendous Haddock IV and Astrid Cagney Hofferson. I had the privilege of working at the Great Movie Ride in Disney’s Hollywood Studios for four years and was part of the closing team, so you might have seen me as a tour guide, Mugsi Toccata, or Kate Durango. I’m now currently a guide at Kilimanjaro Safaris. When I’m not driving around in circles pointing at four different kinds of antelopes, I’m often found performing in local theatrical productions. or spending time with my giant boyfriend. Favorite things include the smell of dryer sheets, marathons of canceled TV shows, and rainy days (as long as I’m indoors at home).

Shane and I went to Typhoon Lagoon today! We narrowly missed the actual typhoon and the power outage though. But we did go to Chicken Guy. @shaneisrad

I had a blast at the Sara Awards!! @nathanfromtheensemble was the best date ever, I got to dress all fancy and see a lot of friends, and I got a strawberry limeade from Sonic. So a great night!!

I am starry eyed and vaguely discontented, like a nightingale without a song to sing Oh, why should I have spring fever, when it isn't even spring?

People have told me I have a very expressive face. I have no idea what they mean by that. But I had a blast playing Florence Gill, the “mouthy little one in pink,” and I’m so excited and honored to be nominated for a Sara Award! #drood #themysteryofedwindrood #edwindrood #saraawards2019

Y’all, I’m in A Mood™️ so please bear with me. This is me, as a high school cheerleader. And this is also me, at Chorus Line last week. I usually keep my blathering about Hashimoto’s disease off most social media, but I’m pretty upfront about it in real life. (Get your thyroid tested! Don’t end up like me!) But this week has been a trial. I used to be able to move well. I had so much energy. Now the symptoms I experience the most are unexplained weight gain, memory loss/brain fog, muscle deterioration, and chronic fatigue. And I have spent the past few months of rehearsals just beating myself up because I couldn’t just pick up choreography and execute it flawlessly. And it sucks because in my mind I’m still that hyperflexible, super energetic girl who could throw six toe touches in a row without stopping. But I’m the girl who was told she was too fat for Adelaide, that she belongs backstage, that she’s “an actress, and a singer, and a juggler, and a politician, and somewhere way at the bottom [shes’s] a dancer.” And it sucks. It sucks that my body can’t keep up with what my heart wants. I’m not entirely sure why I’ve word vomited all of this. I usually keep my social media posts pretty strict to shows and pictures of my cats. But I needed to get this out of my system. I want this show, those eleven minutes onstage, to be my turning point. I want this to be the moment that I look back and say “yes, this is when things got better.” Y’all know me, I work hard. I pour 110% of myself into whatever I do. I think it’s time I poured that effort into myself. I’m really bad about that. (And you know what? There were better things. I did the most technical dance combo I’ve ever done in my life and didn’t die. I wore a leotard in public. I sang for the first time since I got my vocal nodes treated. And right now, I’m going to take those steps and move into my next shows and my voice lessons and keep pushing forward. And maybe I’ll start taking dance classes too.)

Yesterday I said goodbye to Tricia and her purple backpack (#kimmyschmidt). I never thought I’d ever be part of a production of Chorus Line, but here I am. I am grateful for the experience, motivated to learn more after being surrounded by so many talented dancers, and relieved that I never have to mend any of those gold jumpsuits ever again.

Doing what I do best- fixing a costume after finishing the opening number and waiting for my next bit. In the words of Liz Lemon, “I can do it!! I can have it all!” Also, 📸 is by Sean, who is the best photographer in the world! #ctcochorusline #costumerlife #cutdancer #godimamover

I never dreamed of being part of A Chorus Line because...well, dancer is listed last on my resume. But I get to spend eleven minutes onstage, doing one of the most iconic pieces of choreography in Broadway history, and I get to sing the little solo that runs through my head at every audition I’ve ever attended. Tonight we open to a sold out house! And I’ve fixed a lot of shiny gold satin jumpsuits. Many, many, many jumpsuits. #ctcochorusline #celebrationtheatreco #costumerlife

Cinderella vibes. #dapperday2019spring

hello yes it’s me the #deskgremlin of A Chorus Line

I ordered fabric for my Sara Awards dress and my Lydia cosplay! And five Lydia trims. I need at least eight. Not to mention all the trims on the skirt. Send help. #sewing #vogue1102 #cosplay #lydiadeetzcosplay #akaicon2019

There might be some sewing in my future. #lydiadeetz #beetlejuicebroadway #beetlejuice #historicallyaccurateelsa #frozen #akaicon2019

It looks I’m finally going to make it to @akaiconofficial!! The trouble is...what should I cosplay? Y’all know I’m literally the most indecisive person in the world.

Hello this is Daisy she’s my new best friend.

It’s official!! @poisonapplecosplay and I are running the Princess 10K together next year!! That’s enough time to prepare, right? #disneyprincess10k #disneyprincess10k2020

Actual size: American Girl Doll (I had a Samantha but I’m probably more of a Kit.)

This is the best surprise!!!! I’ve been nominated for Florence in The Mystery of Edwin Drood!!!

I am SO excited that I can finally spill the beans about Moonlight’s 26th season!! Next spring I will be directing Tuck Everlasting...which, as far as we can tell, is most likely the Orlando area premiere and possibly the Florida premiere!! I love the story of Tuck Everlasting and fell completely in love with the musical, and I have an amazing team in place to bring this story to life with me. And this October I will be returning as Cheryl in Evil Dead the Musical, which is one of my all time favorite roles! It’s going to be a great season and I am so excited to be a part of it. #tuckeverlasting #tuckeverlastingthemusical #evildead #evildead2electricboogaloo #evildeadthemusical #cherylwilliams

I can’t escape hands. #pamelahanderson #handabear #givetheboyahand #cheryl #evildead2electricboogaloo #shakespearesterminatorthesecond #comewithusifyouwanttofringe
