American Bard Theater Company is in its Second Season and so the Fall offering was Measure for Measure...and the honor of directing such a monster of a show was yours truly!
Much Ado About Nothing
It is almost one year later and The American Bard Theater Company, which I am a proud founding member of, has put up its second production..."Much Ado About Nothing." I couldn't be more grateful to be playing Beatrice, it is a role I have wanted to play ever since I was a young girl in high school watching Kenneth Branagh's movie version when I was home from school with a cold. I've been one lucky lady so far, to have been able to play two of my dream roles.
AMERICAN BARD THEATER COMPANY!
Well, I am in the process of creating a new theater company, from scratch, with a few of my peers from American Globe Theatre's conservatory. Why, you ask, would you start a theater company during an economic crisis?
What a Wonderfully Enriching Day!
So today was just an ordinary day, started with work and then a trip to midtown to see "Songs for a New World" (in New York for the first time since its opening back in '95), directed by Debbie Slevin. Little did I know that Jason Robert Brown would be there for a Q&A afterward. It was an extremely pleasant surprise to be able to have an experience like that in an Off-Off venue. He is not only a musical genius, a quirky/hilarious human being but, he also seems like a genuinely wonderful person. Not many people would give of their time the way he did; it all goes back to karma.
Works in Progress
Although I am not performing in anything at the moment I feel I should update the news with projects I am working on no matter what (I am always a busy busy bee). Currently I am working on finishing up a second short film script, adding onto my one woman show script and will be working on a very interesting and very new idea for a website that will marry entertainment and my need to save the world! More to come on that as it begins to unfold...
