In her senior year at UM Courtney was cast in the lead role of "Kylie" in the new musical "Hello, My Name Is..." The show was conceived, written, directed and produced by UM theatre students under the direction of Tony-Award winning producer Barry Brown. "Hello, My Name Is..." tells the story of five people in a substance abuse program as they deal with life, love, family and overcoming their addictions. "Hello, My Name Is..." is currently being revised and reconceived for what we hope will be a future performance in NYC.... Stay tuned!
