Jan/Feb News! Bookings & Streaming

Things always seem to like to pop off at the start of the year!

Excited to share I have booked the role of Georgie (Understudy) for Griffin Theatre Company's production of Heisenberg by Simon Stephens! This production is being directed by Nate Cohen, and will perform at the Raven Theatre in Chicago. This two person play swirls around two strangers who seemingly can't seem to get out of each other's orbit, as they navigate loneliness, relationships, and the many masks we wear and ways we try to connect and get what we want. What happens when a whirlwind meets a monument, that seem inexplicably drawn to each other despite themselves? The show runs Feb 23 - March 26th, tickets available now! I currently don't have any scheduled performances, but will post an announcement across my social media should I get called to go on. 

I head a great deal of fun recently spending a wild day acting in Avalanche Theatre's 24 Hour Play Festival. We had a sold out and raucous crowd, 5 totally new play premieres, and based on my unhinged expressions in the photos I'll include below.... it was a real good time. I appeared in The Legend of the Golden Egg: Part II​ , written by Owen Hickle-Edwards and directed by Martina Logan, co-starring Brooke-Erin Smith and Ryan Cody. Avalanche is doing some exciting new play development this season, which I definitely recommend checking out!

I am also looking forward to working with a repeat client for a new industrial video this month, and have appeared in and been assistant directing segments for the web-series from Creative Juices 7th: D&D PHB PSA's: TNG ..... translated - "Dungeons and Dragons, Players Handbook Public Service Announcements: The Next Generation". I appear in episode 3, and have assistant directed segments so far in episodes 3 & 5 - with more to come!

In "streaming" news, you can now watch two independent horror films that I star in on various streaming platforms! 

• Homecoming Massacre, which though it premiered in 2020, experienced a long post-production process- so the footage you see was all shot around 2008! So you may notice I look a bit younger in that one ;) I play Kathryn Clark in a supporting role. We received a nice run on the horror indie circuit, gaining several selections and a few wins for the film. 
  • Synopsis: On Jonathan's 7th birthday he became friends with a clown. The clown lives in his head. It's been ten years since Jonathan was locked away and hasn't gotten to play with his friend. Tonight Jonathan is coming home. Warning, R-rated! 
• Evil Lurks, shot in 2019, premiered this year and is starting to generate some excited responses from audiences! I play the lead, Kimberly - and my real life husband Jonah got to play my movie husband in this one also!
  • Synopsis: A troubled woman seeks help from an unscrupulous hypnotist and triggers a series of events that force all to question their reality and what's really lurking in the shadows. Warning, R-rated!
