Triple threat & a great attitude!
As someone who sits on the other side of the table a lot...people are resoundingly stoked to have (Ginette) audition. Triple threat & a great attitude!

Drinking Habits
(Morpheus Theatre)
October 4 - 12, 2024
Two nuns at the Sisters of Perpetual Sewing have been secretly making wine to keep the convent’s doors open, but Paul and Sally, reporters and former fiancés, are hot on their trail. They go undercover as a nun and priest, but their presence, combined with the addition of a new nun, spurs paranoia throughout the convent that spies have been sent from Rome to shut them down. Wine and secrets are inevitably spilled as everyone tries to preserve the convent and reconnect with lost loves.

The Madness of 2024
(A Chorus Line,
The Gondoliers &
Riverona: Complete Box Set)
When it rains, it pours, right?
I've been feeling really tired, and when I think back to this year, I guess it makes sense. I can't remember the last time I've done 4 full stage productions in a calendar year (if ever?)
Val Clark (Chorus Line), Casilda (Gondoliers) & Lady (Riverona) probably couldn't have been more different characters, but it has always been my absolute pleasure and pride to be an acting chameleon.
