In Rehearsals with Queens Shakespeare

Rehearsals began this week for Queens Shakespeare’s  production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.  I’m playing the fairy Cobweb, and I’m also the assistant stage manager. Our show will run November 4-9 at the Spa Little Theatre in Saratoga Springs, NY and November 11-13 at the American Theatre of Actors in NYC.

See the show’s Facebook page for more info.

Broke & Broker (now with an ampersand!)

This September, my short play “Broke & Broker” will go up at Manhattan Repertory Theatre as part of their Fall One-Act Competition. Rehearsals have been going swimmingly. I’m excited to see how it turns out.

A brief synopsis of the play:

After a pleasant meal in a charming restaurant, a woman leaves her waitress a two-thousand dollar tip. Two glasses of Scotch later, her motives come into question.

Written by Rachel Blithe
Directed by Grace Riley
Performed by Rachel Alt and Shannon Lyne Black

Saturday, February 19 at 7:00 pm
Sunday, February 20 at 4:00 pm

And I’m playing the Player Queen on:
