THE RENOVATION screening at Lincoln Center4/29/2016
April 28th was the first screening THE RENOVATION at Lincoln Center, in the Elinor Bunin Monroe Film Center, an absolutely beautiful space.

Festivals!3/25/2016
CAT PLANET has been accepted into the Chattanooga Film Festival!
“Nanette, Thomas, and Madeleine are the picture of Brooklyn gentrification: white, middle class, liberal arts-educated potheads who are suddenly faced with a brutal truth: Cats are f***ing aliens, and the fate of humanity and felinity is in their incompetent, jobless hands.” – www.thisiscatplanet.com
I play Eugenia, ex girlfriend of Thomas, in the final episode. Eugenia is dedicated to living a victorian lifestyle with her beloved cat Fuzzy Boots (played by my darling kitty Walter) who, unbeknownst to her, is the evil and ambitious ruler of all cats, seeking the destruction of mankind. Yup.
Pssst…I’m over here in the final episode, but it’s way more fun to watch all 8! Binge away!
And…
THE RENOVATION has been invited to screen at the Big Eddy Film Festival in September 2016! More details to come!

THE GLASS MENAGERIE (again!)10/30/2015
The second leg of our co-production of The Glass Menagerie was a great success at The Gulfshore Playhouse in Naples, Florida. Founded by Artistic Director Kristen Coury, this rising star of a theatre company brought new life to Tennessee Williams’ classic under her direction. I got to play a dream role surrounded by the beauty of Naples, Florida. The honor of playing Laura Wingfield was a tremendous experience that I will take with me forever.
THE GLASS MENAGERIE9/12/2015
We had a beautiful run of The Glass Menagerie at the Weston Playhouse Theatre Company in Weston, Vermont. Lucky are we to get the chance to do it again, as we will all soon bring this production down to the Gulfshore Playhouse in Naples, Florida. It was a wonderful experience in Weston, and I can’t wait to start the second leg of our journey with this Tennessee Williams masterpiece.
