THE LATEST...
Coming up for air in the midst of the last few upside-down years has meant not only venturing back into
the recording studios of NYC, but also back into an actual theater!
I have had the amazing fortune to work with some of my favorite producers and publishers (Blackstone
Audio, CDM, Hachette Audio, Recorded Books, Rohan Audio) on several extraordinary audiobooks
Street (Audio Drama - original play written by and starring Barrie Kreinik and a full cast), and The
Wildes (Louis Bayard - a good friend from college)
After jumping back onstage in 2022 to cover two roles in a gorgeous production of Chains (Elisabeth
Baker) directed by Jenn Thompson at The Mint Theater, I stepped in to cover the final weekend of
Three Way Stop (script in hand) which marked my "unofficial" debut at The Schoolhouse Theater. My
official debut followed this past December in Brian Friel's Faith Healer, playing the incredibly complex
and intense role of Grace under the skilled direction of Owen Thompson. It was a challenge like none I
have ever faced before. I am incredibly grateful to have had the experience, as well as the opportunity to
work with such an extraordinary group of artists.
UP NEXT...
More of the above!
Keep your eyes out for my recording of Rebecca Kauffman's next novel - I'll Come to You...
... and, I will step back onto the Schoolhouse stage next Fall in Les Liaisons Dangereuses!
