This fall, Georgia is looking forward to playing Billie in Speed Dating Tonight! at Furman University, singing the most well-known piece from the show, the “Fragile Heart” duet. During the summer of 2025, she performed with the Seagle Festival as an Emerging Artist for the second time, singing the roles of Erma Latour in Anything Goes and Frasquita (cover) in Carmen, her first named role in a foreign-laguage opera. She also performed the role of Valeria in the second-ever staging of Mayo Buckner (a life interrupted), during which she worked closely with the composer of the opera, Tom Cipullo. Weeks prior, she made her role debut as Abigail Williams in The Crucible (Ward) with Harrower Summer Opera Workshop under the direction of Dr. Jen Stephenson and Rolando Salazar.
During her junior year of college, Georgia qualified as a finalist for the Schmidt Undergraduate Vocal Competition. She performed the role of Laetitia in The Old Maid and the Thief , and sang in the chorus of Amahl and the Night Visitors, both with Sarah Reese Lyric Theater. She also sang the title role of Lakmé in the Flower Duet for the Furman University Music Opera Scenes program. She is a member of Furman Singers, Furman University’s flagship coed choir, serving as Public Relations Officer for two years.
Other performance experience includes: “Come Unto Him” soloist in Handel’s Messiah (Furman University Music), Fantine in Les Misérables (CYT Atlanta), Kate in The Pirates of Penzance (Sarah Reese Lyric Theater), Lila / Sara in the New York and Northeast premiere of Cold Mountain (Higdon, Seagle Festival), and Mom / Somi in the New York premiere of Evan Mack’s children’s opera Dragon’s Breath (Seagle Festival). Georgia also performed the title role of Anastasia, for which she won the Georgia High School Musical Theatre Award (GHSMTA) for Best Leading Actress, and went on to compete in the National High School Musical Theatre “Jimmy” Awards in the same category.
Georgia has theatrical experience behind the scenes as well - she loves special effects makeup for the theatre, and made her directorial debut in 2023 with Little Shop of Horrors with Furman University’s student theatre group, the Pauper Players. Aside from the arts, she loves to play video games, go to renaissance faires, and spend time with her loved ones (including her two rescue dogs, Poppy and Marshall).
