The Women takes BEST SHOW at the annual Westminster Abbey Awards! The cast and crew could not be more thrilled. We closed a little over a month ago and we are still feeling the high. Thank you to all of the patrons, artists, and friends who have made this possible!

The Women opened last night to a house of 70 patrons. It was so nice to have audience feedback after rehearsing for so many weeks to an empty house (save our director Brandon Ferruccio). After the show we were greeted with warm enthusiasm in the lobby and someone even commented to me, "You made me forget I was watching a play". How thrilling! Behold the magic of theatre! Now that the opening night jitters are out of the way, we can really sink our teeth in. Get ready for the claws to come out. Night 2 of The Women begins tonight at Westminster Playhouse at 8pm! Yesterday I took a trip to Hollywood with my director and cast mate to shop for clothing for my character, Mary Haines, in The Women. Finding a costume piece that suggests 1930s has been a challenge. We stopped off at Bettie Page Clothing in Hollywood, but as the store name suggests, we were met by a plethora of 1950s style clothing but very little that fit the scope of the play. Luckily a quick stop at American Vintage was just the thing we needed. I was able to pick out 4 dresses that I can accessorize accordingly. I am excited to begin wearing Mary's clothing and physically become the character. To see our costume choices, you will have to come to the show. Check out my Events page for details.
10 years ago I joined the cast of FUHS’s production of Clare Boothe Luce's The Women as Peggy. Today I am ready to return to the play a little older and a little wiser. Thanks to my wonderful director Brandon Ferruccio, I am cast in Westminster Playhouse’s production of THE WOMEN as Mary. It's time to reinvent myself as Mrs. Stephen Haines! I am excited to work with Brandon for the first time and to meet the rest of the cast tomorrow night at our first read-through. |
