End of Summer Update
The encore run of THE LEATHER APRON CLUB was a big success!
We earned three more rave reviews, including one where I was described as “the ruthless Karen Ragan-George” when referring to my portrayal of Presidential Candidate Senator Emily Green! I’d say that was accurate!
We were all sad to have it end, but the cast holds out hope that we’ll get the opportunity to present it again somewhere, somehow.
And in Other News..
I had the privilege of participating in a Staged Reading of SHE IS HISTORY by the extremely talented writer/actress AMY JAN SIMON. Amy assembled a cast of some of the most incredibly talented working actresses in the biz today. Every line they delivered was knocked out of the park.
What a pleasure to sit alongside CATHY LADMAN, MELANIE CHARTOFF, MO GAFFNEY, CLARA RODRIGUEZ, JANE BRUCKER, Saturday Night Live legend LARAINE NEWMAN and fellow THEATRE WEST members ASHLEY TAYLOR and RILEY RAY BAKER. I primarily read Stage Directions, but got to have some fun reading the part of Henry Stanton (husband of famed feminist ELIZABETH CADY STANTON) as well as a couple of one-line characters. It was directed by the extraordinary LEE COSTELLO, who with only one rehearsal, managed to pull it all together beautifully. It was truly inspiring to see all of these women bring their A-Game!
Next Up:
Developing, via the Workshops at Theatre West, my one-act play, ONE NIGHT AT SEA and my one-woman show, SECRETS THAT YOU KEEP.
And, of course, submitting, submitting, and submitting for acting work!
