Take a moment to pause, and enjoy life's INTERMISSION
Hi, I'm Morgan! I'm a twenty-something theater critic and writer (which really just means I've been a Theater Kid my whole life but now I'm an adult) based somewhere between Baltimore and Washington DC.
Hopefully, I can help you discover a new 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!
Welcome to Intermission!
