The Astor's Beechwood was a living history museum. The actors lived and worked in the former summer home of the New York Astor Family circa 1891. I was fortunate enough to perform, sing, choreograph, design, train, teach, write and direct. These are a few of the designs that I created for the experience, including both servants and high society members both day and evening. I was responsible for learning, then choreographing authentic vintage dance, as well as teaching victorian etiquette, societal rules, and the secret languages.

I wrote a murder mystery and several tea dances and tours as well.
