This year will be Harley's second year at Camp Ballibay, and they cannot wait to return! In 2023, Harley was a costume design counselor in the technical theatre department, as well as a cabin counselor for U9 and U11. After getting to work with such talented colleagues and wonderful kids last summer, Harley is ecstatic to get working on this summer's season of shows. They cannot wait to get back into the swing of things at Ballibay and start creating with the artists around them.

Professional Bio:

In their time at UConn, Harley has assistant costume designed for The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, dramaturged for One Hundred Words for Snow, worked as a stitcher on shows such as Metamorphoses and War of the Worlds, and assisted the wardrobe crew for the 2023 production of Rent. Next semester, they are looking forward to more roles at CRT in dramaturgy and assistant stage management. Outside of their work with UConn, Harley has also served as a counselor at the Broadway Beginners theatre camp in Westbrook, CT where they not only created costumes but also stage managed and choreographed. In their free time, Harley can typically be found crocheting, sewing, and making jewelry, among other things. As they first got their start in theatre at the age of ten and technical theatre at the age of thirteen, Harley cannot wait to collaborate with the campers of Ballibay!
