"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. Since then, Leryn has taken this time to cultivate relationships, spend more time outdoors, and build a voice studio. She has also completed Level I of the LoVetri Institute for Somatic Voicework (TM) and performed with her partner Paul-Jordan Jansen for the Beautiful City Project's Season of Concern Livestream and the 100 Days Project.
