Life is like a cup of tea - it's all in how you make it.
Tricia grew up in the suburbs of Cleveland, Ohio and has always loved music, theater, and dance. It was probably the countless hours she spent singing and dancing along to Fraggle Rock and Disney movies in the living room that inspired her parents to enroll her at a young age in voice, flute, & piano lessons, dance classes, and summer theater camps. She soon went on to do community and professional theater productions around the Cleveland area.
When the National Tour of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat played Cleveland in the 1990s, Tricia was a member of the Children's Chorus for the 5-week run. After this eye-opening experience, Tricia officially decided (at the age of 12) that she wanted to pursue a life and career in the Entertainment Industry. She spent a summer in Pittsburgh, PA at Carnegie Mellon’s Pre-College program and then officially earned her BFA in Musical Theatre at Ithaca College, which included a semester abroad in London, England.
Tricia is immensely grateful for the precious experiences and remarkable individuals that have come into her life as a result of her career path. Tricia was the Understudy for all four women in The Marvelous Wonderettes (both the original Off-Broadway company in 2009 and the 2017 Revival). She also served as the Dance Captain for the original Off-Broadway production.
She has done 1,600+ performances on National Tours across the United States, which include the First National Tour of Sister Act (Ensemble; U/S for Mary Robert, Mary Patrick, Martin of Tours, and Mary Theresa), Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (Understudy to American Idol’s Diana Degarmo), The Producers (Hold Me Touch Me), and Cats (both the recent Revival First National Tour, as a Booth Singer and Understudy for Grizabella and Jellylorum, and as Grizabella on the 2007-2008 Tour). Regionally, she has worked at Theatre Aspen in Aspen, CO and at The Merry-Go-Round Playhouse/The Rev Theatre Co. in Auburn, NY (as both a performer and as a director).
As a soloist/vocalist, she has toured Japan and Taiwan with the Orchestra Japan for “Disney on Classic” and has been the featured soloist for concerts with The Rochester Philharmonic and The Cleveland Pops Orchestra. She has sung the National Anthem twice for the MLB's Cleveland Guardians (former Indians) and was the MainStage female vocalist for Holland America Line's Zuiderdam. In total, she has performed in 165 cities throughout 43 of the 50 United States (and the Kennedy Center in Washington DC), in 15 cities within 8 Canadian provinces, and in 30+ cities in Japan.
Tricia's passions for humanity, equality, and the global community certainly keep her motivated and working. Her concerns around the Climate Crisis led her to become a trained Climate Reality Project Leader, and further become a member and advocate within three local chapters throughout the USA. She is also a passionate advocate for Alzheimer's research and has participated as a Team Leader for the Walk to End Alzheimer's.
Life is an enormous gift and a wonderful journey, and she never wants to take that for granted. Her inquisitiveness and positive outlook have certainly crafted the way she has lived, and continues to live, her life. During the Covid-19 pandemic, she returned to school and earned an Associates Degree in Business Management with a focus in Marketing. In her downtime, Tricia enjoys baking and cooking (and all things Foodie related!), hosting and spending time with her friends in her New York City condo, and traveling and exploring the world - 44 countries and counting!
