Dreaming big & and a (killer) blast from the past

3/3/2020

Big news! I am now officially represented by Dream Team Talent. Dream Team is a great newer agency in the Chicago area which also produces an industry podcast and is soon spreading its wings to LA. Vilma, the agency owner, is such a delightful person and truly advocates for her talent. I can't wait to see what we're able to accomplish together in 2020 and beyond!

As for that blast from the past - my head is still spinning at this news, but one of the very first indie films I did back in Indiana over 8 years ago is finally complete! At the time, the film was called "Birthday Massacre" but has been renamed "The Night of the Wicked Clown" and has been submitted for consideration to a couple dozen film festivals with the goal of a spring premiere. This slasher film features local Indiana talent as well as talent that's moved off to Chicago and LA as well. Directed by Kenny White and produced by White Hair Productions and Tornspace films (Tornspace also produced Bloody Murder, the very FIRST indie feature I ever starred in). Check out the poster and trailer and sign up for updates on screenings at the Official Night of the Wicked Clown website.

Meanwhile Drive, VO, and Bottom Shelf

The Dining Room has ended (5th best selling show of all time at Oil Lamp Theater!) and now I have something fun to show you - the short student film from last year I starred in has finally been released! Check out "Meanwhile Drive" written/directed by Abdullah Azizi, below.  Now also on my Film Shorts page.
Also, I just finished editing together my voiceover demo! Check it out on my Voiceover page or hit the play button below.
My next project (as I keep reminding everyone ;) ) is my wedding, but I will have a brief interlude as an emcee for Fury Theatre's March 15th fundraiser, "Bottom Shelf Theatre: Reasons Why We Drink". It's a fun night of staged readings of the worst plays we could find, and tickets include unlimited booze and apps from 7-9pm for only $30 in advance. Check it out!

Iron Horses Ep.2 and other updates!

2/20/2016

Hey team! 

Iron Horses Can't be Broken is officially on iTunes, and we're already got some great early reviews! Check it out and subscribe to get in on the meaty audio-drama podcast action. The "official" launch will be after the 3rd episode, when Burning Brigid Media really starts pushing. They're really fun, and a perfect 20 minute adventure for the daily commute. Episode 2 is now available on iTunes and at burningbrigid.com. I appear throughout this episode!

Meanwhile, I'm getting ready for my second day of shooting for Emily, a short film by Abdullah Azizi, an MFA student at Columbia College. I play the title character in this film, which explores Emily's desire to get out and change her life, even if it starts with just a little conscious optimism and a couple small steps out the door. I'll definitely share when the film is complete!

I had a couple more auditions today, and several more scheduled in the coming weeks, on top of The Dreamchild Neverists rehearsals over at Dream Theatre Company. The show is really starting to take shape - the main set construction is done, several of the puppets are near completion, and we're having way too much fun rehearsing this thing. Our General C.C. Possum might be the cutest thing on stage come March. Tickets should be available soon! 

Thanks for checking in, and I hope to have more news after the results of these next auditions!!

Voiceovers and Angels

9/12/2015

 
I can't believe it's already mid-September! It's been a relaxing summer filled with beach yoga, beach volleyball, late nights with friends, and auditioning. 

I've worked up a new voiceover page, as I've started to drum up more work in that arena. I'm very fond of voice acting, and hope to continue to do more of it, and invest in a good home microphone for recording. Recently my voiceover work for Adagio Tea's Passport Program video was released, and today marked the first official recording session for Iron Horses Can't Be Broken, and original audio drama mini-series withBurning Brigid Media on their Synesthesia Theatre podcast. Iron Horses... has 11 episodes and will continue to record through October, with episodes available for free as they're released. What's awesome about Burning Brigid Media, is that they strive to cast and create stories about those that are traditionally marginalized, and treat those characters as living people rather than stereotypes. Iron Horses... is no exception.

Day 1 of "Iron Horses Can't Be Broken"!
Rehearsals have also begun for Audience Annihilated 3: The Trouble With Angels, the next installment of Dream Theatre Company's intimate horror experience just in time for Halloween. As we keep saying in rehearsal, this show is "going to ruin people". It's pretty freaking messed up, and I don't scare easy. I like to describe it as "The Strangers" meetings "Going Clear." This is a very unique experience, I definitely recommend it for Halloween thrill seekers. I'll be playing the character "Drill".  Tickets are now on sale! https://www.artful.ly/store/events/7190

Soon I hope to share an webisode of #SelfieGuy that I appeared in. It's a very goofy web series, and it was a lot of fun shooting with that group. We shot a couple spots, so hope to see that soon!
Check out the links below for some past #SelfieGuy videos!
Watch out for that #selfieguy

It's going to be a busy Fall and Winter with the podcast, DTC's show, and then Oil Lamp Theater's It's a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play (I'm playing Sally Applewhite/Mary). 

More updates to come!
