On Monday, December 18th, I was lucky enough to play Hester Worsley in Oscar Wilde’s A Woman of No Importance with Gingold Theatrical Group’s Project Shaw, led by David Staller. Directed by Charlotte Moore, the cast included Martha Plimpton, Reed Birney, Annie Golden, Jay Armstrong Johnson, Cynthia Darlow, Tim Jerome, Robert Langdon Lloyd, Margaret Loesser Robinson, Warren Kelley, and Jennifer Van Dyck.
What a gift it was to be a part of the New York premier of Brian Friel’s The Home Place, at The Irish Repertory Theatre. Directed by Charlotte Moore, with a wonderful cast and creative team that you’ll just have to click here to read more about.
From The Irish Rep’s website:
“In the hot Donegal August of 1878, the fruits of Colonialism and the ambiguities of loyalty are tested within the background of impossible love. Christopher Gore, the liberal minded Anglo-Irish landlord and his son, David, reside at The Lodge with their “chatelaine” Margaret, with whom they are both in love. Christopher’s cousin, Dr. Richard Gore, arrives with the intention of pursuing a Darwin-inspired scientific theory: by measuring the craniums of the indigenous Irish, he hopes to crack the genetic code of the indigenes…demonstrating their inferior place in the natural order. Set in the era of the rumblings of violence and uncertainty at the dawn of The Home Rule movement, Brian Friel explores the aftermath of Dr. Gore’s experiment as deep animosity is dangerously ignited amongst the suspicious villagers of Ballybeg.”

It was a true joy to be a part of The Glass Menagerie at the Weston Playhouse Theatre Company. I love Weston, Vermont, and I am delighted to become a part of the Weston Playhouse family, Vermont’s longest-running professional theatre.
The second leg of our co-production of The Glass Menagerie was a great success at The Gulfshore Playhouse in beautiful 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. The honor of playing Laura Wingfield was a tremendous experience that I will take with me forever. (Pictured with Ben Jacoby.)
Check it out! Look who made the cover! Our production of VANYA & SONIA & MASHA & SPIKE was chosen to be the cover of the April 2015 issue of AMERICAN THEATRE MAGAZINE! I think that’s pretty cool. If you can get past looking at our Spike stretching in his undies, I’m right in the center with the bright red hair! (Pictured with me are Leslie Hendrix, Mark Nelson, David Gregory, and Caryn West.) Directed by Maxwell Williams at Hartford Stage.
