Solo Show - The Power of Listening
Virtual - Louisiana State University - Thesis Project
Streaming April 6-11, times TBD


This spring, Tiffany will be presenting a one-person show that she has written, workshopped, and produced on her own. She will be working with the support of the Louisiana State University School of Theatre, her mentors Sonya Cooke, John Fletcher, Nicholas Erickson, and Isaac Pletcher, and her MFA cohort to present her work. 

The Power of Listening beings with a young woman with a problem: she has writer's block and hasn't felt inspired to write a song in months! Through telling her stories and feeling seen and heard by her audience, this young woman discovers what truly inspires her and what could potentially inspire many others. This piece will be made for young audiences, aimed toward kids ages 7-13, but enjoyable for all audiences.

More info will soon be posted to the LSU Theatre website: www.lsu.edu/cmda/theatre.

“Tiffany is always so supportive of my acting and singing and encouraged me every step of the way; whether it was in her classes, or for my school theater class, or auditioning for a play. Tiffany also came to watch me in my first middle school production and it made me feel so special that she took the time  to come see me perform!" - Ava, 12 years old, Journey Student
