with a touch of kooky ;)
"Freihofer’s Ilse...is an electric charge through the room whenever her character appears, and her feature on “Blue Wind” stops time."

Sydney and Sage singing "Don't Do Sadness / Blue Wind" from Spring Awakening at Short North Stage.
I identify as gender fluid, and I use she/her and they/them pronouns (either works!)
"Freihofer seems to relish displaying her inner diva..."
Heyyyy I'm Syd! I am a professional actor / singer and aspiring director. Crafting and encompassing stories has been the most consistent part of my life, and I am so happy to be living in NYC and making it a part of my everyday life. Certainly not new to the big apple, as I grew up just a little ways away in Atlantic City, New Jersey. In a house of 3 older brothers, I certainly developed a personality that blends in with the overwhelming male energy of my house. Luckily, my lifelong neighborhood friends, mother, and Lizzy McGuire kept me very in touch with my feminine side. Don't get me wrong though, my social awkwardness bleeds into all the work I do...but I don't mind. With me it's always like, if you're here, you're family.
yes i just used Olive Garden's saying gbye
