Welcome to Intermission!

Hi, I’m Morgan! I’m a twenty-something theater critic and writer (which really means I’ve been a Theater Kid my whole life but now I’m an adult), newly based in North Carolina!

Hopefully, I can help you discover a show or the next song that will be stuck in your head for weeks on end.

I’ve been a theater writer since 2016, and I’m so excited to share my passion for the arts with you. Happy reading!
