TheaterMania is happy to announce that long-time TheaterMania University (TMU) contributor and actress will be making her TV debut on CBS’s Blue Bloods this Friday at 10 pm EST in an episode entitled “Higher Ed.”

In her TMU post about the experience, Bridget, who will be playing a character named Kelsey, said, “Being cast on Blue Bloods was an extremely gratifying experience–beyond thrilling.” In fact, long before Blue Bloods came calling, Bridget had expressed interest in being cast on the New York City-based police drama in three previous TheaterMania posts. Since the universe listened the first time, Bridget confessed another dream in her recent TMU post: “have I ever mentioned that I really just want to be a detective like Olivia Benson?”
