NEW NEWS!  I will be joining the cast of GOD OF CARNAGE by Yasmina Reza
Opening Jan 24th @ I.C.T. (International City Theatre) in Long Beach  - http://ictlongbeach.org/

I am so thrilled to be a part of this wild ride of a play; winner of the 2009 Tony Award for Best Play!
If you're a fan of the piece, I am playing "Veronica" - the role that Marcia Gay Harden rocked on Broadway and across the country.  More as opening gets close.  Wooo-Hoooo.

SWEET CHARITY was a blast to work on ..... after a much needed turkey break - on to something completely different.

Happy Thanksgiving!  I hope you had the blessings of friends, family and food.

I'm playing "Nickie" the seasoned crusty queen of the FanDango Ballroom, a great role made famous by Chita Rivera, Bebe Newirth among distinguished others.  I'm in great company!  This production has gotten several Broadway World Award nominations  (for Los Angeles obviously) - Best Choreography - Tania Possick,  Best Lead Actor in a Musical - Adam Silver, and Best Featured Actress in a Musical - ME!
Photos coming soon! 

October 12th - REVENGE on ABC - Guilty Pleasure TV!

I got to shoot two days on the new ABC "I will cut you" drama REVENGE.  The episode I'm on will air Wednesday, October 12th.   I'm one of Madeline Stowe's South Hampton friends who sees the same psychiatrist... (ME: red hair, green tank dress, prominent deltoids).  I get humiliated - along with several others - in a very public way!  SPOILER ALERT.   I think I signed something and cannot say more....

Who doesn't love watching wealthy snotty people get taken down a peg????

Backstage of the Mark Taper Forum - downtown LA

I am curled up in my dressing room upstairs of the Mark Taper Forum - between shows on Saturday.  The theatre is beautiful and I'm really attached to "my" green fuzzy sofa in "my" dressing room ... mine for another few weeks anyway.
I'm here for the run of Theresa Rebeck's new play, POOR BEHAVIOR, covering both the female roles in this fast-paced four character dramedy.  The two female characters are very different; its a fantastic challenge and honor to tackle them both.  Thanks Universe - I guess you heard that request ....
