Leprechaun Madness

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Today, to avoid the craziness that is Kansas City's St. Patrick's Day parade, I walked 40 minutes from my apartment to the Living Room Theater, where we rehearsed for THE MASCOT, a new play by Jerry Hickey and directed by Peter Zazzali.

"The Mascot is a satirically comic coming-of-age story about an obsessive father, a starry-eyed son, and the drama that ensues when a father’s pursuit ofhis unfulfilled aspirations torpedo the dream of his son. The play’s unconventional and unforgettable characters will quickly prove if there’s one thing they can win at… it’s losing."

I'm taking on the delightful role of Dia: she's dramatic, she's acrobatic, and she goes after what she wants without hesitation.

I'm working alongside a stunningly talented cast, which includes Sam Cordes, Jen Mays, Matt Rapport, Hollis Wilhoit, Coleman Crenshaw, plus the lovely Alisa Lynn, and more! I'm thankful to be part of such a powerhouse team. THE MASCOT runs April 5th - 29th at The Living Room Theater. Experience the mascot madness! 

Bed Play: The Elements of Intimacy

I thought I was going to take the summer off this year, but the universe had other plans. 

This July I was fortunate enough to produce Bed Play: The Elements of Intimacy at The Living Room Theatre, July 8th-15th. With Director Katie Gilchrist at the helm and PSM tech goddess Lacey Pacheco we mounted this workshop in just two short weeks. Our cast included R. H Wilhoit, Alisa Lynn, T. Eric Morris, and Kyra Weinberger. 

This was a major learning experience for me! Mostly, once again I realized I'm capable of way more than I thought I was. However, I couldn't have done it alone. I owe a big thanks to our show sponsors: The Living Room Theater, Ron Simonian, Carter Publishing Studios, Melinda MacDonald, Rebecca McMillan, Ben Mayne, Morgan Myers, Leah Wilczewski, Zach Faust, Jen Benkert, Pete Bakely, Nancy Erickson, Amanda Davis, and Kristin Cook. 

Next up: my first musical! I'm soooo close to finishing draft one of "Working Title: Spellbound." This is a collaboration with composer Krista Pojman and we plan to have a stage reading in January of 2018. Stay tuned!
