"At Intermission"
Grease closed unexpectedly on March 12, 2020 as a result of the shelter-in-place order at the start of the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Leryn began working at Whole Foods Market on March 20th, completely trading in a performance career for that of an essential worker. The uncertainty and exhaustion were overwhelming at times, and she spent most of the summer resting, soaking up time outdoors, and considering the future...
As well as completing Level I of the LoVetri Institute for Somatic Voicework (TM), she started on a dream 10 years in the making-- a voice studio. In addition to her private studio, she joined the faculty of the Paramount School of the Arts in Aurora, IL. She also performed with her partner Paul-Jordan Jansen for the Beautiful City Project's Season of Concern Livestream and the 100 Days Project-- what would turn out to be the first of several virtual performances.
