My summer of Shakespeare has been wonderful, and I am happy to announce…I earned my Equity card! I am officially a member of the Actors’ Equity Association (AEA). Thank you all so much for supporting me as I made my journey into the union!

Lots of upcoming shows this month…including three more chances to see me play Margaret in “Much Ado About Nothing” at Theatricum Botanicum and two chances to see me in the PREMIERE of “This is Not a Tan” at The Second City Hollywood. Hope to see you for a show!

If you’re in Southern California this weekend, join me for the opening of “Much Ado About Nothing” at Theatricum Botanicum. I play Margaret, the bawdy ladies’ maid. Show runs July 12 to Sept 28 in repertory.

Last month, I submitted my pilot “Sunnyside Estates” to NBC Playground. The network is hosting an online competition for new writer-actor-producers. More news in the fall when they announce semi-finalists. Fingers crossed!

Yay! Just submitted my comedy pitch to NBC.

Wow. June 9. Almost summer!

I bid farewell to another season filled with love, friendship and Shakespeare at Looseleaf Theatre Co. in Irvine. Thank you to the cast, crew, and 1500+ audience members who shared “The Comedy of Errors” with me (see pics below). My cup runneth over yet again.

  

April was a wonderful month!

Filmed “I Like You a Latte” with the lovely and talented Sara Amini. It was so fun to spend the day on set with her and other pals from The Second City Hollywood. Plus…I love lattes!

Special performance TONIGHT ONLY of “Undateable” at The Second City Hollywood. I am super excited to go on for Robyn Lynne Norris. Click here for tickets.

Looking ahead! Mark your calendars for a Summer of Shakespeare. I’m playing Adriana in “The Comedy of Errors” with Looseleaf Theatre opening May 24, and Margaret in “Much Ado About Nothing” with Theatricum Botanicum opening July 12.

Best of all…I’m an auntie again! Made a trip up North to meet my baby nephew Henry. He’s awesome! Here’s a pic on my Instagram.

I am beyond grateful to have been part of a Play Reading at Skylight Theatre with Mary McDonnell. I still remember the first time I watched “Dances with Wolves” and am pinching myself that I played her daughter-in-law for a day! Humongous thank you to Casting Director Jane Bacon for gathering our family clan (see pic).

Had a super fun Animation Voiceover class with Sara Sherman and Aaron Drown from Disney. High Five to The Actor Company in Hollywood for putting it all together.

And lastly, I am happy to share my new headshots! I loved my session with James at FailSafe Photography. Check ’em out in my gallery.

What an amazing morning! Play reading with the lovely Mary McDonnell and friends at Skylight Theatre. Thank you, thank you, thank you to Casting Director Jane Bacon for assembling our clan. Xo.
