Actress
There was a time when I acted full-time. I was young, ambitious, and had boundless energy for auditioning, rehearsing, performing, and auditioning some more. Now, I’m old. Okay, no, not really. I’m about to turn thirty-one. But I don’t care to spend all my time auditioning. As such, I perform about once a year.
You can catch my next performance all the way out in 2010 as Hamlet. Produced by the brand new GAN-e-meed Theatre Project–dedicated to advancing the roles of women in theatre.
Please contact me for an acting resume. Rest assured that I have played:
- Ophelia in Hamlet. Twice. @ First Folio Shakespeare Company outside of Chicago and @ the now defunct Theatre Co-op outside of Boston.
- All the Ladies and some other random characters in Frodo-A-Go-Go: The Rings Recycled. A fully improvised long-form and long-running spoof @ the also defunct Free Associates in Chicago.
- Liz Morden in Our Country’s Good @ The Theatre Co-op. One of the few contemporary plays I would fight tooth and nail to direct.
- Cecily Cardew in The Importance of Being Earnest @ Penobscot Theatre in Maine. My first big professional show out of college. Ah, the excitement of living on beans and corn in a hotel room in the dead of winter in Maine.
- Thomasina Coverly in Arcadia @ Brandeis University. My first big college show. Directed by Mr. Sam Weisman. The first time I heard the word “rehearsal skirt.” The first time I had a dress made just for me. The first time I was a “star” and felt like it. Oh, the delicate snobbery. I was a tender 18 going on 19.
- The third pig in The Classics Come to Court @ The Learning Community Day School. I was totally shafted. I should have played the ugly duckling but that role was given to Timothy. I got stuck wearing a pink sweat suit and a card board nose.
