THE LATEST...
Coming up for air in the midst of the last few upside-down years has meant not only venturing back into
the recording studios of NYC, but also back into an actual theater!
While continuing to make use of the three vocal booths I have built since the pandemic began, I have
found myself back in the saddle in the studio at Blackstone Audio, CDM Studios, Hachette Audio, and
John Marshall Media - working with actual real live people again! A few notable projects
include: Daughter Of The White Rose (with Robin Miles and an all-star cast), Chorus (Rebecca
Kauffman), Three Hours In Paris (Cara Black), Vera Kelly: Lost And Found (#3 in the Vera Kelly series
by Rosalie Knecht), The Bonobo Sisterhood (Diane Rosenfeld), Bias Interrupted (Joan C. Williams), and Mrs. March (Virginia Feito).
After nearly three years of ongoing weekly Zoom play readings with The Schoolhouse Theater - Great Catherine, Twelfth Night, Faith Healer, Betrayal, Dancing At Lughnasa, and Shadowlands (with Daniel Gerroll), to name but a few - I finally had the amazing good fortune to step back onstage. Under the direction of my dear friend Jenn Thompson at the remarkable Mint Theater Company, I understudied two roles in a gorgeous production of Chains, by Elisabeth Baker. The ongoing pandemic meant several performances - in both roles! It was a challenge like none I had ever faced before. I am incredibly grateful to have had the experience, as well as the opportunity to work with one of the most extraordinary groups of people I have ever met.
UP NEXT...
More of the above!
Keep your eyes out for the next book in Cara Black's Kate Rees series - Night Flight To Paris...
I also hope to climb back onto a stage again very soon.
