I've officially joined Actors' Equity as of today! 
Looking forward to this next chapter in my professional career. 

Had a lovely commercial shoot for Dr. Kellyann Petrucci today! She was so warm and welcoming, and it was so great getting to hear her perspective on gut health and cleansing your body.
We shot some commercials and social media content for her pages, right before she launches her new book! 

We just wrapped a three day photoshoot in Brooklyn for Squatty Potty! Had such a blast with a great group of models, and can't wait to see how the photos turned out!

The contracts are re-signed! I'll be heading to Hilton Head to FINALLY get to do this dream show (which were supposed to do practically TWO years ago) which such a lovely gaggle of geese, playing Pat this fall. 

Profound thanks for The Arts Center of Coastal Carolina for creating a safe and Equity-approved work place, and can't wait to hug and squeeze everybody. 

In desperate need of some Cyndi Lauper in my life again, and can't wait to test the theory that sex is in the heel... 

Feeling refreshed and ready to take on this new chapter! JShoots and Zac Makeup Artist (Justin Schuman and Zac Hart) updated the ol' 8x10 to now this late twenties version of myself!

I've desperately needed to PLAY again, and Heidi's class provided such a safe and creative space to do so! I fell in love with her teaching methods a few years ago when I took her Acting on Film I class.
 
We focused on different genres each week, and over the course of a month, I explored Action Spy (Atomic Blonde), HBO Drama (Big Little Lies), Sex Comedy/Raunchy Comedy (Broad City) and Historical/Period Piece (Emma - 2020 version). 

And we were even surprised on our last class by switching genres, so my Emma scene went from a historical/period piece to a psychological thriller, to a sitcom! 

I so love working with Heidi, and am looking forward to taking more classes with her, and exploring more TV/Film. 

We start rehearsals next week for a new musical, Dora! All about a sideshow fortune teller, Victoria, in an English circus during WWI.

I'll be playing the Ringmaster, who is the narrator of the piece, weaving in and out of songs and dialogue. We're going to have a showing at The Jerry Orbach Theatre at the end of the month!

I always love mew musicals, and getting to work with new materials, so this will be such a fun and great challenge.
