The Light In The Piazza at Arena Stage
I recently closed a really special production of Adam Guettel's The Light In The Piazza at Arena Stage in Washington, D.C., where I played the fabulously juicy "Franca" alongside Nicholas Rodriguez, Margaret Anne Florence, Hollis Resnik, Jonathan Raviv, Mary Gutzi, Ken Krugman, and Drew Eshelman. It was directed by the artistic director of Arena, Molly Smith, and music directed by The Shaw Festival in Toronto's Paul Sportelli.
 
 
 
 
 
BE Company Reading with Betty Buckley & Graziela Daniele!

On November 30th I was pleased as punch to be a part of a reading of new musical by Sandra Hochman and Galt MacDermot, The Secret of Mrs. Shakespeare, starring Betty Buckley and directed by Graziela Daniele. I played the younger version of Betty Buckley's character, the "young Anne Hathaway" and got to sing a couple great Galt tunes, alongside the amazing and inimitable Ms. Buckley.  It was produced by my friend Ethan Matthews (of prior Studio 42 fame) with his new company, The Be Company, and they all did a really great job. Here's a couple pics...

Summer of Theatre: Flat Rock Playhouse & Weathervane Theatre

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...

Velma Von Tussle  Hairspray
The Beggar Woman  Sweeney Todd
Georgia Hendricks  Curtains
Elvira  Blthe Spirit
Armelia  Ain't Misbehavin
The Producers  Usherette

 

 
The Last Goodbye

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:

THE LAST GOODBYE
An adaptation of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet by Michael Kimmel
With music and musical compositions by Jeff Buckley with the permission of The Estate of Jeff Buckley
"It's never over. My kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder." - Jeff Buckley

Created hundreds of years apart, the timeless work of two of history's great poets collide in this visceral and moving world premiere theatrical event. Part rock concert, part Elizabethan verse, part 21st century musical, THE LAST GOODBYE features a cast of fourteen extraordinary young, up-and-coming actor-singers. Told through Jeff Buckley's daring and soulful music, William Shakespeare's romantic and violent tragedy is new yet again.

Directed by Michael Kimmel.
Musical direction by Kris Kukul.

THREE NIGHTS ONLY!
