She is currently working towards her BA in Theatre Performance at SDSU and can be seen performing at both Sea World and Sesame Place.

Mary Rose has experienced many firsts here at YAT; first full-length musical, first cabaret, first time working on the tech side of things and running a show, and now her first time as Music Director! She thanks Katie, Alicia, and the entire cast and crew for including her on this journey! @maryrose_vad13
