Happenings and Announcements

Hello! I realize that I've failed epically in updating this blog recently, but I've been busy (always a good thing).

First off: my single "Worth The Wait" is now available for purchase on iTunes, Amazon mp3, Rhapsody,  CDBaby and more!

I recently finished shooting on an independent feature film called Orenthal: The Musical. Here's the synopsis as explained on the film's Kickstarter page by writer/director Jeff Rosenberg:

 "It is a feature-length narrative comedy about Eugene Olivier and his suicidal quest to stage the next great American musical. After months of struggle, he finally finds inspiration in the form of the OJ Simpson trial."

And yes, there will be footage from the musical in the film. I had the wonderful privilege of being one of the Orenthal company members and I had an absolute blast! It's going to be a great film with a ton of wonderful people involved. (If you click on the above Kickstarter link, you'll also be able to hear a few of the songs that will appear in the film).

In other news, I completed my Classical Scenes class over at A Noise Within, performing in the end-of-class/end-of-term showcase that served as a kind of "final" for all the interns at the theatre. (I am not an intern, but since I took the class, I got to perform too!) It went really well! Everyone's performances were wonderful, I now have some experience with George Bernard Shaw's work and I got to break out the rehearsal skirt and character shoes again. Not to mention working with a great scene partner and getting to experience classical theatre again.

Now for an announcement!

I will be performing at the Hollywood Fringe Festival in June with Warrior Poet Theatre Company (the same company I worked with in Macbeth last fall) in an original one-act called N'afia. The show was written by Anton Ray, a member and co-founder of Warrior Poet, and will be directed by Michael McIntyre. The synopsis for the show, as found on the Hollywood Fringe website:

"Set in Albasrah during the 2003 American invasion, two Iraqi civilian refugees seek shelter in an abandoned home that becomes a causality collection point for the US Army. Innocence and misunderstanding are no protection from the harshness of war."


For more information, including location, performance dates/times and ticket information check out the Hollywood Fringe webpage for N'afia.
