If all the world's a stage... I want better lighting!

Profile Information

I Am A...
Writer, Director, Producer, Other
About Me:
Right now I make my living teaching theatre, but my long-term goal is to run a theatre company that combines my passion for developing new theatre, celebrating established theatre and educate the next generation of theatre artists. I want a place where I can write, direct and help others to grow artistically. Myself and my business partner, Amy Holson-Schwartz, have formed Festival Arts for this purpose.

As far as the things I do that don't make me money, at the moment I'm the composer of a new musical called Facing East based on the play by Carol Lynn Pearson. We will be workshopping in NY this fall with a new production in Chicago next season, and from there... who knows?

I can only hope.  Merrily is one of, if not my favorite, Sondheim show.  

Tell me everything about it!

I'm sure you've already seen this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5U_C668gS8&feature=relmfu

but also, this is me singing the song as Mary: http://www.youmicro.com/listen/song/4358/old-friends

God, I miss that show.  But Ragtime is awesome.  Every time I do a show with this company, it ends up being one of my favorites.

I wish I could be there for the upcoming Merrily!  I live in Northern California and it's during my college auditions and Ragtime tech week.  I hope they record it though, I'll watch it on Netflix, or if I need to break out the old lady in me, I'll watch it on PBS.

Ah yes, I'm currently in Merrily withdrawal after playing Mary last Fall.  

The other Inc I can think of is Buffalo Nickel Photoplay Inc from Ragtime.  I'm currently rehearsing for Ragtime where I'll be playing Mother.

Hello :)  I thought tonight's class was so much fun.  Alice is truly something.  I'll never look at hoarders the same way again!  Follies was seriously incredible.  You need to go see it as soon as you possibly can. I think the best thing about it was simply the staging.
