All Through the Night

Just got cast in a new play by Shirley Lauro titled All Through the Night.  I have a feeling this is going to be a very moving production. The play is just remarkable. It is the story of Gentile German women growing up during the Nazi Regime and the different paths they choose.  It really does make you question what you would do under the same circumstances, hopefully I would've actually chosen my character, Angelika's path.  The play features an AEA member cast (minus myself) of: Theo Allyn, Michelle Lookadoo, Lesley McBurney, and Andrea Sooch.  Previews begin on Oct. 2nd and runs until Oct. 25th.  For more information and to pre-purchase tickets check out The Red Fern Theatre Company.

IT Nominations Announced!

So there is this really cool awards event for off-off Broadway called the Innovative Theatre Awards or the "IT Awards" which is just fun to say.  And Oph3lia got nominated for Best Ensemble!  How fun and exciting is that.  We were all invited to attend the press party which is where the offical nominations were announced and the Award ceremony will take place on September 21st!  So stayed tuned and keep your fingers crossed.  The press party was a lot of fun, photos were taken, dancing was at an all time high, we were interviewed, and best of all got to enjoy the company of the cast and even ran into other familiar faces from past projects.  I think you can also vote for who wins, although I'm not really sure how it works, but click here to cast your vote!

The Radiant

I'm currently working on a workshop production of The Radiant.  It's exciting to get to see how the play has developed since the reading at EST back in the Octoberfest.  We will have 2 performances one at The Actor's Studio and the other at EST. I'm really looking forward to putting up this workshop, it feels like it's actually more of a mini production. The script has really evolved and the cast is very talented and inspiring, it features: Angelica Torn, Bill Cwikowski, Ben Rappaport, and Timothy Doyle (all of whom of course are AEA Members).  I'm very excited to see how it is received.  The dates are Monday, June 15 at 4pm at the Actor's Studio and Wednesday, June 17th at 7pm at Ensemble Studio Theatre. Admission is free so if you're free too, come and drop by!

Best of Playtime!

Great news just had the review with A.M. Rachel (Artistic Director of TheatreVision) about our opening night performance of No Regrets and she said it was definitely going to be a candidate "The Best of Playtime Series"! So hopefully April 10th performance won't be the last!

One on One Class with Ellen Parks

Just finished taking some wonderful classes with Ellen Parks at One on One.  She truly offered great insight and was also delighted to be involved in a group with such talented actors and actresses!  Would highly recommend for anyone interested in taking a few classes.

NYC Film Race 2009!

Just had a wonderful time working on NYC's Film Race with some great people from EngelEntertainment. Can't wait to see how it turns out.  Was really impressed how on schedule we were. Although with only 24hrs to write, film, and edit it, it was definitely necessary!  It will screen on 4/4/09 at the Canter Film Center. Come and see!

No Regrets

Very excited, just found out I'll be involved in a new play No Regrets, directed by one of my close friends from PHTS Libby Conkle.  The play is based off of Edith Piaf's life and the various people she encountered throughout her life and career.  Needless to say I'll be playing multiple roles one of which is Marilyn Monroe, which I"m looking forward to the challenge of!  The play will go up at the Producer's Club on 44th Street on April 9th and 10th, so keep a look out!
