Busy!  Lincoln Center/Live IN Theater/One woman-puppet show-musical madness

6/23/2015

 
Keeping you updated my friends!  So here's what's been going on the past 2-3months...

We opened previews for Up And Away at Lincoln Center from April 28th-May 3rd. 

This production has been monumental for me, not just for my career, but for me as a human being.  What an incredible show, with an incredible purpose, where I never failed to cry while calling cues.

Up and Away will be coming back this fall for it's public run, where I'll get to be one of those cool full-time, 8 shows a week, professional stage managers, who doesn't also work as a waitress.  (But just for a month)

A week after that, I opened the first show I've directed in NYC, Begochiddy. 

Not only my first show directed in NYC, but also my first musical, first puppet show, and first one woman show I've directed.  We were able to sell out for nearly all the performances, and we all had a great time doing it. It was a wild ride working with Charlotte on the development of the production, and we're both looking forward to continuing to develop the project, and are currently searching for it's next home.

Currently, I'm working as a Stage Manager for Live IN Theater...

which creates interactive theatre based around real-life, unsolved murder cases, and ask audiences to solve the case.  People get to walk through the streets of New York, interrogating suspects and at the end they get to guess who did it.  It's a new kind of theatre for me to work on, but I absolutely love it. 

And now, I'll be Assistant Directing and Stage Managing at the Lincoln Center for the staged reading of The Boy At The Edge Of Everything. 

It's one of the most charming and imaginative shows I've read in a long time and I'm so excited to be working with Trusty Sidekick again in a new role as AD.  I'm constantly reminded of how lucky I am to be a member of this company, who completely support me as an artist, and am looking forward to all our future adventures together!

So much more exciting news to come that can't be announced... All I can say is that I'm incredibly blessed to be living the dream my friends!
