NEW INDEPENDENT FEATURE - 'WE BURN LIKE THIS'
July 2019
Casidee is thrilled to be a part of the new independent feature filming in Montana, 'We Burn Like This,' playing Maggie.
When 22-year-old Rae, a descendant of Holocaust survivors, is targeted by neo-Nazis in Billings, Montana, her ancestor’s trauma becomes real.

YELLOWSTONE REPERTORY THEATRE'S
'THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST'
March 2019
A show that has been on her bucket list since junior high, Casidee plays Gwendolyn in Yellowstone Repertory Theatre's 'The Importance of Being Earnest.'
'The Importance of Being Earnest' has proven to be Oscar Wilde’s most enduring—and endearing—plays. Filled with witty Victorian aphorisms and Wilde’s own brand of wisdom, it tells the story of Jack Worthing and Algernon Moncrieff who use clever deception and truth-bending to accommodate their social pursuits. Oscar Wilde builds a farcical world of Victorian social mores by using double entendre, aphorisms, and witty repartee.
