Farewell, 2016!

On the acting front, I’ve just been cast in a brand new play by GARRY KLUGER called IN THE YELLOW WOOD. It is in development at THEATRE WEST and I am delighted to be a part of such a poignant yet funny project. I have a supporting role and will be performing once again with the fantastic ADAM CONGER and ASHLEY TAYLOR. The three of us appeared this past Spring in CHARLIE MOUNT’s THE LEATHER APRON CLUB, a brilliant political thriller that received rave reviews. IN THE YELLOW WOOD will go through the development process with the goal of having it chosen as a mainstage production in 2017 or 2018.

I finished a short play entitled, ONE NIGHT AT SEA and presented a staged reading of it, alongside the wonderful GEORGE TOVAR, for the Writers Workshop at Theatre West. It has also been submitted to two one-act play festivals on the east coast and I will know this coming Spring whether it has been accepted.

I’m still working on my one-woman show, SECRETS THAT YOU KEEP, and I’m about halfway through Act 2. My goal is to finish it by the end of January and start working it up on Monday nights in TW’s Actors Workshop.

AND LASTLY...

I’m sure I won’t be the only one to say Good Riddance to 2016. Although artistically, it was a very gratifying year for me, the activist in me had a rough time, particularly after November 8th. Those who know me won’t be surprised to learn that I will be attending the WOMEN’S MARCH in Washington, DC on January 21st. I have many loved ones whose equality is being threatened and I will not sit quietly and do nothing. So, in addition to my letter writing, protesting, and petition signing, I have made a commitment to stand by anyone who is targeted by hate and offer them support. Having that message heard on the 21st is my mission.
