I just returned from a summer full of theatre and it was incredibly rewarding and, of course, a whole bunch of fun. 

This past June I worked at The Flat Rock Playhouse in North Carolina with a really great team of actors and artists in my debut as the infamous Aldonza in "Man of La Mancha"

The day after we closed Mancha I travelled to the Weathervane Theatre in Whitefield, New Hampshire for more than 2 jam-packed months where we performed seven shows in alternating rep!

I played the following roles in these shows...

Yesterday I started rehearsals for THE LAST GOODBYE, a rock musical adaptation of Romeo & Juliet using Jeff Buckley's music, and couldn't be more excited. We read through the piece (I'll be playing Lady Montague, single mom, and all around gang lord hard as nails bad ass, natch) in a gorgeous garden in the new 70 degree spring weekend heat in the East Vilage, and it was one of those "This is why I live in New York" kind of moments...

 More to come, but here are the details. The tickets are moving extremely fast and they have't advertised at all yet, so I'd recommend getting your tickets right....now!

We are performing three Mondays (May 11th, May 25th and June 1st) at Joe's Pub at 9:30 pm, and you can buy your tix (cheap! $12!) here:

I have some fun stuff coming up in March and April...

GAUCHO

Gaucho had another tour out here at the end of January, where we played some great shows at Pete's Candy Store, Barbes, and Drom, amongst others. The boys will be coming out again the second week of May so stay tuned for show dates. In the meantime we are recording a demo together, so when those tracks are done I'll post them to the site.

Stay tuned, and Happy Spring (come already!)

I'm starring as Sally Kaplan and Pia, The Pig-Faced Lady in CYCLONE & THE PIG-FACED LADY at The Barrow Group Theatre, 312 West 36th Street (bet 8th & 9th Aves.), as a part of the 2008 New York Musical Theatre Festival!

Sally Kaplan's hit comic book "Cyclone" is set in the glamorous, seedy Coney Island of the 1920's, where Cyclone, a sultry gypsy heartbreaker, and her freakish twin sister, the Pig-Faced Lady, always save the day. But in the real world, there are no superheroes, and Sally must find a way to become the hero of her own story.
