Love moved to the state two years ago to work as a WIN television journalist and has since found herself heavily involved in Northern Tasmania's thriving theatre scene.
"When I moved here I was looking for a way to meet people and keep myself busy and then I met Ross Marsden who was involved in theatre and it went from there."
After already having a passion to perform, as she had danced since the age of four, been a dancer and choreographer at Club Med in the Whitsundays and a flying trapeze teacher at Club Med Malaysia, Love auditioned for Grease with Encore Theatre Company.
Now, a year later, Phantom will mark Love's fourth show, after Grease, Fawlty Towers 2 and Chicago and is also the first time in seven years she has put on pointe shoes.
"It was a bit like riding a bike. You know the technique, it's just a matter of training up my feet and ankles to have enough strength," Love said.Love will leave the state the day after Phantom of the Opera closes.
