Little Love Stories: A Dream 10 Years In The Making

This Glorious Mess

Do you remember what your dream job was as a child?

Maybe you imagined being a famous athlete, an astronaut, or a firefighter. For today’s guest, that dream wasn’t just a fantasy—it became her reality.

Courtney started as a theatre kid, waiting eagerly for autographs at the stage door, dreaming of what it would be like to stand where her idols did. Years later, she made it happen. Courtney stepped into iconic roles like Anna in Frozen and Glinda the Good Witch in Wicked, along with countless other memorable performances on stage and screen.

Her story is living proof that dreams don’t have to stay dreams—they can come true.

You can see Courtney in Wicked and in Paper Dolls on Netflix.
