June 19, 2008 One month away from opening in Oberon's production of A Thousand Variations on a Lie Told Once by Stacey Lane, which will be part of the Midtown International Theatre Festival. I'll be playing Whitney, the oldest of three sisters that go to their mother's house on Christmas Eve to finally straighten out a few things regarding their deceased father. Oh yeah, they are also meeting her young fiance for the first time. It's an interesting drama with a lot of laughs thrown in. See more info at www.oberontheatre.org or buy tickets at www.ticketcentral.com. April 18, 2008 Shot a JVC commercial in March. But it was more like a party than work. There were a lot of people I know on the shoot and we were at this beautiful location that used to be a private mansion. (When craft services is served in silver chaffing dishes you know you've hit the jackpot.) The title of the shoot was "Weddings Gone Wild" and there was a whole lot of silliness going on. This month I've been involved in a couple of readings. I played the role of the Virgin Mary (yes that Virgin Mary) in Our Lady of Sandwich, written by Mario Baldessari and Keith Bridges with Oberon, and I'm following that up by playing a nasty cockatoo named Cinderella in Birds, Fish, and Dogs by Pamela Butler at Nicu's Spoon. January 12, 2008 Rehearsals begin this week for Macbeth. I play Lady Macduff in this Oberon Theatre Ensemble production opening Febuary 14th at the Lion Theatre on Theater Row. It looks to be a very exciting production and the opening party is sure to be great fun, so why not join us on Valentine's Day for this "love story with a twist." October 27, 2007 First rehearsal today for WhiteHorse Theater Company's reading of Compression of a Casualty in which I play news anchor Soledad O'Brien. The reading, directed by Cyndy Marion, will be performed on Monday, October 29th at 8pm at the Epiphany Theater Company, 154 Christopher Street, Suite 2B. September 10, 2007 Summer's over and it's time to don the flowered scrubs with another stint as a nurse on "As The World Turns." The outfit is hideous, but the experience working on this show is always a pleasure. April 6, 2007 Wow, that was fast! It feels as if The Merry Wives of Windsor just opened, and now here we are closed and done. What a great time! And the show was extremely successful with several sold out performances. I've been going non-stop since the the year started and it feels a little weird not to have rehearsals or performances on my schedule, but there are of course other things to focus on. (The first perhaps being laundry!) My sister is getting married in July, so it's time to get working a bit more on that production. With that date tying me up for many theater opportunities, I hope to put some more time into other types of acting projects. For instance, I'm doing a two-day gig with Performance Plus in Richmond, VA this month. And we'll see what else comes along -- besides spring! (Hooray!!!) March 4, 2007 The Merry Wives of Windsor opens this week! All is beginning to fall into place and it is clear that this show is going to be a great deal of fun for both the audience and the performers. The music that's been created for the show by Mickey Zetts is really wonderful and further boosts the lighthearted tone of the play. I've left the angst of Williams behind and I'm having a ball. Come on out and join the fun! Purchase tickets at www.ticketcentral.com. February 6, 2007 In the Bar of a Tokyo Hotel is open and going quite well. As the original Broadway production was not a hit, we were interested to see the reaction of modern audiences to this play. So far, very positive! The character of Miriam is endlessly fascinating and it's a treat to step into her shoes every evening (the pillbox hat on the otherhand...) Just twelve more performances left. Get tickets at www.smarttix.com. January 12, 2007 So rehearsals for In the Bar of a Tokyo Hotel have begun. They are demanding but also a great deal of fun. We open three weeks from today on February 2nd and I hear ticket sales are already strong! See more info about the show at www.whitehorsetheater.com. December 9, 2006 You can catch me in two shows in the upcoming months. The first is Tennessee Williams' In the Bar of a Tokyo Hotel, which opens February 2, 2007. This show is being produced by White Horse Theatre Company and will run at the Abingdon Theatre Arts Complex, 312 West 36th Street. I'll be playing the wonderfully juicy role of Miriam. In March, I will be part of Oberon Theatre Ensemble's tenth anniversary season, having heaps of fun with the role of Mistress Ford in Merry Wives of Windsor. This show, which will place Shakespeare's text in a contemporary setting, opens March 8th at The Lion Theatre on Theatre Row (42nd btwn 9th Ave and Dyer). December 1, 2006 Have a reading of Colin McKenna's parking lot lonely heart with Boomerang Theatre Company coming up on Sunday, December 3rd, directed by Cailin Heffernan. The script is being presented as part of Boomerang's First Flight series and will be held at The Arthur Seelen Theater at The Drama Book Shop, 250 W 40th Street, NYC. October 1, 2006 Just shot an episode of "Law & Order" with Chevy Chase! Okay, we didn't exactly have a scene together, but it was still quite a bit of fun. I also recently did a scene on "As The World Turns" as one of the nurses fighting over the gowns for the upcoming hospital gala. I wanted the Venus gown but ended up as Little Red Riding Hood. Quite a let down. Feburary 3, 2006 Finally I have both a new show and the ability
to update my site all by myself! All-In-One, an evening of one-acts
that could save your life, opens February 8th. I'm performing in
The Bear by Anton Chekhov and The Mystery at Twicknam
Vicarage by David Ives. Produced by the Oberon Theatre Ensemble,
All-In-One is a full evening of lighthearted fare, including classics,
contemporary and original works. One week only. Catch it while you
can! JULY 18, 2004 July 21st thru July 25, 2004 I'll be playing
the role of Jaime in the new play The List by Alex Menza,
directed by Joseph Zarro. Jaime's young son needs a liver transplant.
Her father can get him to the top of the waiting list. Why would
he hesitate to do so? Tune in and see folks. JUNE 2004 Saturdays and Sundays in June I'll be performing
A Comedie of Errors in Central Park using the unrehearsed
First Folio technique. We rotate roles, so it's always fresh and
exciting. Bring a blanket and a picnic and join the fun. Free! Saturdays
at 12 and 3pm. Sundays at 3pm. Enter Central Park at West 96th Street
and head south along the path. You can't miss us.
