Happy summer solstice! We got a new HVAC system. Can't wait to test it out. #hvac #hvaclife #summersolstice #hiller #hiller4lyfe #bigfan #getit? #cool #playinitcool #coolguy
Mary Poppins opens TONIGHT for a three weekend run! Come see me sing my way from belittled housewife to confident mom (who is still kind of belittled, but ya know.. this was set in the Edwardian era, so I'll cut 'em some slack). A lottttttt of literal blood, sweat, and tears have gone into this production, and I'm so proud to share the stage with such a hard-working and talented group of individuals. They're practically perfect in every way. Just wait and see 👀🍭☂️
The Neighborhood Watch is out in full force today. 👀👀
Andddd to round out my musical theatre journey of 2017 (thus far), I'm excited to say I'm playing Winifred Banks in Mary Poppins at @thelarrykeetontheatre. We open one week from TODAY! 🤗
Braggin' on my mom for a second, guys. Last week, she awarded two $1000 choral scholarships to these incredibly talented students from my old high school. Brad will major in Bass Performance at Berklee College of Music. Molly will major in Choral Music Education at Appalachian State. . . En lieu of flowers for my dad's service in 2011, we asked for donations towards this scholarship fund (which had never before existed at Providence High). I am still floored by the support we received then (and continue to receive), and I know my dad would be OVER THE MOON to shed light on the importance of the arts and to continue encouraging these young, creative minds. . . Since the scholarship's inception in 2011, over $9000 has been awarded. The Ted K. Royal Memorial Choral Scholarship -- "dream on". ❤
I'm pretty sure we were supposed to be fake laughing in this photo, but we were definitely actually laughing. Yesterday was filled with joy from start to finish ❤#kapsofftothedoyles

This girl is getting MARRIED TODAY! Sarah was one of my first best friends when I moved to Charlotte in 6th grade... I remember being so worried that I wouldn't make any friends in a new city, as it was the start of middle school (aka: the most awkward years of everyone's lives). And then this cool girl, fresh off the boat from Germany, welcomed me to the lunch table with open arms. It's truly amazing to think of how much we've both grown over the last almost 15 years of friendship. I've told this story a couple of times over the past few weeks leading up to this day, but I'm going to tell it again, because I think it's a true testament to the kind of person she is. When my dad passed away suddenly in 2011, Sarah was the first person to race over to my house (at 5am) to be with me. No makeup. No bra. No questions asked. She was with me the whole day, holding my hand and hugging me when the tears wouldn't stop. That's the kind of friend Sarah is. She shows up. And she gives... without ever asking for anything in return. I am so excited (and honored) to stand beside this beautiful woman as she marries an equally beautiful man (both inside and out). @theycallme_evan, I know you will love her unconditionally, and I'm thrilled for you both. On to the next journey ❤
Last night, I played my first show of 2017, had the opportunity to bust out this cute, vintage dress my mom bought me back in November, and cheered the Nashville Preds (from the stage) to claim their spot at the Stanley Cup Finals. Amazing. All was pretty perfect in my little world. But I know that across the pond, things unfolded much differently. There aren't enough words to adequately express how much my heart is breaking for Manchester. What should have been a night of celebration, ended in disaster. A recurring theme. I would be lying if I said that in times like these I don't find myself anxious to leave my living room -- let alone go to a concert, game, or really anywhere that attracts more than a handful of people. But I know that's what they want. I am choosing to live as fearlessly as I can (and for those of you who know me well... yeah, that's pretty difficult for my worry wart self). Let's love each other, okay? Love to you and you and you and especially Manchester right now but also you. ❤ . . . 📷: @melodie_chase
TONIGHT! 8:30PM! THE BASEMENT (OG)! $5! I'll be sangin and playin some tunes along with some other cool bands to celebrate the Preds win (which will inevitably happen)... and I promise to keep you updated with the score throughout my set, so you won't miss a thing. 🙏🏻 . . . 📷: @brothersdesignco
I'm pleased as punch to share the bill with some talented folks at The Basement on Monday evening! Doors at 8:30. Show at 9pm (I'm first, but you should come for the whole shebang). Only $5 (aka one unicorn frappuccino... or whatever the hell those things are from Starbucks). Hope to see you there! 💃🏼
For Christmas, I told Bobby I didn't really want "things"... I would rather have experiences. Well, he hit it outta tha park. Last night, I cashed in on one of those experiences, and we took an Italian cooking class together. We may not have been the most advanced (and we may or may not have eaten our weight in pancetta), but as you can see here, Bobby has the tedious task of stirring risotto on lock. He didn't even stop for the photo. Full and happy. That's the stuff ❤
