The Metaphor Girl

I'm a button, I'm a horseshoe, I'm a girl who's bad at metaphors.

Just a sneak preview! I’m not entirely happy with the shape of the sleeves and I might shape the bodice a bit more, but it’s definitely wearable! Do I look like Cinderella yet?

(Although if I was Cinderella my bathroom would be a lot cleaner…)

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).

My run in The Mystery of Edwin Drood ended yesterday. It was a challenging show for me and I learned so much- I got to sing a G5, high kick on a slope, and harmonize in a quartet, all while wearing a corset. I’m really going to miss the cast and all of our running gags the most I think though. I had a blast playing “the mouthy little one in pink” and I hope I get the chance to do this show again someday. #drood #mysteryofedwindrood #florencegill

I made Winifred Banks proud today #govote

“This is me, Eliza Thornberry, part of your average family. I've got a dad, a mom, and a sister. There is Donnie - we found him. And Darwin, he found us. Oh yeah, about our house - it moves, because we travel all over the world. You see, my dad hosts this nature show, and my mom shoots it. Okay, so we're not that average. And between you and me, something amazing happened... and now I can talk to animals. It's really cool, but totally secret. And you know what? Life's never been the same.” #halloween #butalsomeeveryday #elizathornberry #thelittlestsimbaone #kilimanjarosafari

It’s #nationalcatday, so here’s my two children getting caught where they clearly shouldn’t be. Astrid is ashamed and full of regret, and Hiccup doesn’t care at all. #hiccupthecat #astridthekitten

Trying to be at two dress rehearsals at once. The struggle is real. #drood #mysteryofedwindrood #florencegill #springawakening

Onstage: the lead chorine of the Music Hall Royale, aka “Little Bo Peep gone bad,” aka off brand Meg Giry. Offstage: frantically texting about the status of costumes at Spring Awakening and planning out six more dresses to sew. #springawakening #drood #mysteryofedwindrood #florencegill #doubletechweek #sendhelp

Evil Dead closed a year ago today so please enjoy one of my favorite bits. #evildead #evildeadthemusical #cherylinthecellar #cherylwilliams

The outburst I had at Joann’s is not reflective of who I am.

Shane did Hoop Dee Doo for the first time. I think it was a hit. Happy anniversary babe! @shaneisrad

I try to confide in my lions, but they keep biting me. #meangirlsday #kilimanjarosafari #thelittlestsimbaone

I’d like to think that if Mugsi Toccata ever did get that jewel, she’d retire from her life of crime and settle down in a nice little village. (But who are we kidding, she’d definitely return to crime.) Happy Great Movie Pride Day (a day late). #greatmovieride #thelittlestmugsi #astheanubisdoorturns

Drood rehearsals are going really well. #mysteryofedwindrood #drood #florencegill

Legally Blonde ended 24 hours ago and here I am with a new show (and back in a corset) #drood #mysteryofedwindrood #florencegill

At its best, you shouldn’t notice costumes. A good costume is cohesive with the set and works with the actor’s performance; at its worst a bad costume is distracting and draws you out of the story as an audience member, and hinders the performance for an actor. I was very, very blessed to work with a great director, an amazing production team, and a brilliant cast on this show, and I think everything worked out beautifully. But sometimes you do have that showstopper piece, that big moment when a costume is critical to a character’s growth and a moment in the story, and on opening night I got to hear the audience applaud for Elle’s pink proposal dress in act one and Emmett’s makeover in act two. And I cried both times. Of course, those moments would have never worked without Amanda, Lillie, Ethan, Corrinna, and the rest of the amazing cast, but this show is one that I feel honored to have been one small part of the team. #legallyblonde #ohmigodyouguys

Ohmigod, ohmigod you guys! #legallyblonde

I never thought I could find a show that would combine my comedy skills (the Orlando Sentinel did call me “comically delightful” once), my somewhat decent knack for accents, and my love for Victorian underwear, but here we are! Catch me as Florence “Flo” Gill, the sassiest chorus girl at the Music Hall Royal...who in turn plays a demure schoolgirl named Beatrice, a citizen of Cloisterham, and...a succubus. It’s a role originated by Donna Murphy, so no pressure, right?
