On Saturday I attended an audition for Edward II at the Empire Theatre in Santa Ana. Sunday I was blessed with a callback, and to start my Monday morning off right, today I received notice that I have been cast as Margaret. The joyfully pleasant Darcy Hogan called me this morning to announce my inclusion in Theatre Out's adapted production of Marlowe's last play. In addition to playing the emotionally tragic role of margaret, I will also be playin gthe messenger! I think the juxaposition of these roles provide a worthy challenge for any actor. I am excited to begin this journey with this liberating theatre company. This play marks one year of back-to-back productions on my resume, and my 45th production!

I just got news that I have been cast in Almost, Maine at the Whittier Center Theatre! I will be playing Ginette, Sandrine, Gayle and Hope. I am excited to meet the other three cast members. I have a good feeling that this small cast will be a tight knit group, full of ambition and knowledge. We are being lead by director Michael Eiden into the fictional town of Almost, Maine. Tomorrow we begin our travels!
I have been cast in The Lutz Radio Hour at the Long Beach Playhouse! Last night I had the privilege of auditioning for Andrew Vonderschmitt, the artistic director of the LBPH. This show marks the beginning of a Christmas tradition he hopes to activate, bringin a holiday show to LBPH audiences every year. Not only will I be a part of this new, exciting tradition, but I will also appear in back to back mainstage productions. I start rehearsals during my run as "Wanda" in Enter Laughing. We have a very short time to rehearse this sketch-like comedy Christmas show of 1947. I am eager to begin the process.
Good news! I have been cast as Wanda in Enter Laughing at the Long Beach Playhouse, directed by Glendele Way-Agle. After 5 nerve racking hours of callbacks, I survived all 4 cuts and landed the role. The cast was announced in the theater lobby and my friend Brandon squeezed me tight when we saw his headshot on the bottom of the pile smiling at us. In a room full of talented actors I was thankful to have him there. We haven't attended the same audition in over a year, but we seem to bring each other luck. I breathed a sigh of relief when my name was called. I hardly get nervous anymore, but I have to admit my stomach was in knots fo rhte last half hour. It is a gratifying feeling the first time I hold the script in my hand, knowing that the risks I took were validated. Our first read-through is Monday! I am excited to begin Wanda's journey.
