Play that changed my life: Pinocchio, don’t smoke that Cigarette. I was the only 1st grader cast in the production. Had a crush on Pinocchio, a 5th grader. Been an actor ever since.
Is there anything I don’t still dream of doing? I have to edit my to-do list all the time! Here are some:
- I would like to continue traveling the world performing my work and helping other women create their own work.
- I would like to do a season in a Shakespearean rep company…I like being part of a theater family and I love love love the bard.
- I’d love a university position teaching voice and speech. I’m at home teaching. And helping someone connect to her breath is a privilege.
- I’d like to spend every January through March somewhere sunny.
- I’d like to become a mom.
I feel most like myself when I’m in rehearsal. Rehearsal is my favorite part of making theater…where my creative process gets to hang out with others’ creative processes for art-makin’ fun times! I also feel a lot like myself when I’m performing my solo shows. I “play” myself so that makes sense.
Favorite cocktail: ginger martini. It’s a very very rare treat.
Best Escape(s): Baths. And Mexico.
