Man, life is flying this week!

We opened the show(!!!), a book I recorded in June was released today, and there is other potential good news, but I will jinx myself if I go into more detail. . .
Audiobook NEWS:
They're Not Gaslighting You by Dr. Isabelle Morley was released today! It was my first book with Podium Entertainment and I am thrilled to share it with everyone! I learned so much about therapy terms, of which I thought I already understood-- and of course, is the purpose of the book, therefore a pressing education for all of us armchair "experts".

​
In the spring I narrated my first audio project with John Marshall Media and Hay House Publishing; The Good Goodbye by Maureen Keeley, Ph.D. and Julie M. Yingling Ph.D. I feel fortunate to have been chosen for their book which seeks to help those who desire a meaningful goodbye with friends and/or family at the end of their life. It includes hundreds of personal interviews over the course of 20 years; people detailing their final conversations, whether the relationship was full of love or a constant struggle during their lifetime. It was informative, heartwrenching and inspiring.
​
Currently, I'm seeking my next project, while recording a new book in the public domain. . .
​
TV/FILM NEWS:
​​​Last November, I filmed my 2nd co-star role on Chicago Fire, which aired in January. I've had a few callbacks for commericials and have heard things are picking up again this fall, so fingers crossed. . .
​
​Theatre NEWS:​
As mentioned above, we opened our show!! I am thrilled to be working with Babes with Blades in the world premier of The Mark by Jillian Leff. I've been a fan of Jillian's writing since I saw a production of Small World with The New Colony in 2019-- and, embarrassingly, I realized during our rehearsal process of this show, I performed in one of her short plays at The Bechdel Fest, also in 2019. . . I guess 2020 erased some of my long term memory.
​
ANYWAY, we have a phenomenal cast! I am also performing in hand-to-hand and knife fight combat sequences where I have been (gratefully) paired with talented partners who make me look good.
Get an eyeful of some of these gorgeous publicity shots from the brilliant Joe Mazza/brave lux Inc:​​​

Hope this finds you sipping your favorite fall beverage. . .

Life NEWS:
Theatre takes up so much time, that it is part of life news. Luckily, I like it that way. And I'm privileged at this time to be able to focus on drama onstage, not off. . .
