2006-2008 News
BIG RIVER! Opens July 2nd, 2008! I will be playing multiple roles in Big River at Olney Theatre Center in MD. I'm not playing Huck or Jim, but I will play lots of others! Come see the downhome fun and lovely music along the Mississippi (in Olney)! It runs til either July 27, or if extended, August 2. "Loneliness callin' where you are tonight. And you oughta be here with me..."
SWEENEY TODD! I will then play the Beadle in Ganymede Arts' (formerly ATW) production of Sweeney Todd at Church St. Theatre in DC. Production dates aren't nailed down, but it looks like late September/early October opening. I adore Sondheim and can't wait to play the scheming dude. AND, since I'm playing a man (hm- this is a pattern with Ganymede/ATW for me!), I get to sit in the barber chair and receive a shave - how deliciously demonic. "Swing your razor wide, Sweeney..."
I played Essie Miller in Eugene O'Neill's Ah, Wilderness! with American Century Theatre in Arlington, VA. The show was directed by Bob Bartlett. See my Press section for our reviews!

I played Marigold in Odyssey
Productions' show, "The Hovering",
at The Source Theatre in July, as part of the 2007
Capital Fringe Festival. See The Gallery for shots from the show! I shot a commercial for Box Express - watch for it on Comcast's TNT channel during the NBA playoffs! I also recently voiced the history montages for the American Institute of Architects' (AIA) 139th Convention, celebrating 150 years of architecture in America. See my voiceover section to hear my work for this project.
I played Kimmie in Cavegirl Productions' fourth 48 Hour Film Project and fifth film, FOURGE, shot the first weekend in May '07. Our genre this year was Buddy Film. Take a look at the FOURGE website and watch the film now!
Matchmaker's Guide To Controlling The Elements wrapped shooting in May '07. I played Liz, the matchmaker. It's written by one of my favorite playwrights/screenwriters, John Morogiello. The film is produced by J.T. Burian Cinematicals. It's always fun to command people to do things, especially wooing someone "with the mating dance of the Caracan fruitbat..."
In February '07, I shot a training film for SpringHill Suites. I was an 'Irate Guest' along with a couple of clueless ones.
Also in February '07, I played Rose Hawthorne in a reading of Mercy Is My Dwelling Place. It's a play in development about Nathaniel Hawthorne's daughter, who is being considered for sainthood.
In September '06 I played the character of Snuff in Mistakes, Inc.,
the 2006 winner of the VSA
Arts Playwright Discovery Program. The gala evening was
held on September 28th in the Family Theatre at the Kennedy
Center. The production was directed by P.D. Michnewicz.
In
July/August '06 I was Oatsie Carewe of the Hearst Newspapers in Vampire
Lesbians of Sodom with Actor's
Theatre of Washington. It had drag, vampires, gay chorus boys
and a truckload of bad puns - what more could you want?
On May 6th I played seamstress and patriot Betsy Ross in the reality
show parody The Old World, produced by Cavegirl
Productions, for the 2006
DC 48 Hour Film Project. You can watch the film on its official
site at TheOldWorld.TV
(click on "Episodes").
April 17, '06: And the Helen
Hayes Award goes to... SOMEONE ELSE. That's right, I didn't
win. Jenna Sokolowski from Urinetown did. BUT, it was a great
night, and they aren't just talking smack when they say "it's an honor
to be nominated." It truly is!
