ABOUT ME

​

​

Hey, I'm Payton! I was raised in a small town that you've probably never heard of - Howell, Michigan. I trained as a competitive gymnast for my entire childhood/teenage years so you could assume I have a lot of trauma as well as skills in work ethic, attention to detail, and teamwork. 

 

 I fell in love with theatre and story telling around the same time I went through puberty (tough times). The theater community offered me a place that wasn't about perfectly pointed toes and sticking the landing, it was about being creative and making people laugh. I couldn't get enough. I went on to receive my BFA in Musical Theater Performance from Western Michigan University.

 

Since graduating, which was not that long ago because I am SO YOUNG...and hot, I have performed in regional theaters all over the country. I *starred* in the First National Broadway tour of Tootsie for two years on the road and spent all of my paychecks on Starbucks. Please, hire me I need more coffee.
