Indiana cherished her time in the BRHS theater department, on stage and off. She participated in productions in many ways, from operating the sound board for shows like Anything Goes and The Dining Room, to performing in prominent roles, such as Ismene in Antigone Now.

Since her sophomore year, she has been in "Chicago" as a specialty dancer, "Anything Goes" as a Dance Captain and Purity, "Godspell" as a Dance Captain, and "The Dining Room" as Peggy, Sarah, The Old Lady, and a party guest. Franny's amazing cast mates introduced her to Dr. Wilson and the rest of the choir program after her first year in theater and she is forever grateful for both her theater and choir family.
Outside of school, Franny has been dancing for 15 years and her passion continues to grow. She has been a member of Gotta Dance's pre-professional dance troupe "Showstoppers" as a Dance Captain for the past four years and has had the opportunity to be cast in numerous lead roles for Jazz, Modern, Contemporary, and Musical Theater. She has also been cast as an acting lead in the Heartbeat Dance Company, is a member of the Immortal Dance Force, and has been a pointe lead for the Nutcracker Dance Ensemble.
In the fall, Franny will be attending the Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers to receive her B.F.A. in Dance and hopes to make it to Broadway one day.
