Lyndsey performs regularly with Flying Squid Comedy in Actor’s Worst Nightmare!
Two actors and an improviser perform a three person scene with a hitch: the only lines the actors are allowed to say are recited from two separate plays, in order. The improviser must bring the actors' worlds together and create a script that fits the bill, or else all three will find themselves stuck inside the actor's worst nightmare!

STUDENT SUCCESS STORY
2023 NATS National Musical Theater Competition
This July, Lyndsey went to San Diego to attend the NATS National Musical Theater competition in support of acting student, Garrett McCord. Garrett is going into his Senior year as a Theatre Major at The University of Georgia, where he has extensively prepared for this competition under the voice instruction of Michael Hadary and additional acting instruction from Lyndsey. Garrett gave a fantastic performance of Sondheim’s Later and won 2nd place (which included a cash prize).
Congrats to Garrett for winning and especially for bringing his A Game to every performance.

UGA Hugh Hodgson School of Music’s 2023 Summer Music Institute
This June, Lyndsey taught an “Acting Through Song” class to high school music students. The course emphasized warmup practices, song analysis, embodied performance techniques and tools for performance anxiety. These young artists showed up for this work every day with wonderful enthusiasm and courage to try new things. We had a great time!
