It’s been such an unabashed pleasure to return to the stage post covid. Two years away only reaffirmed my love and commitment to the theater, so it’s been particularly delicious to have been cast as a leading lady not once but twice this season!

I started the year in a smart, timely and irreverent new play by Talene Monahan called Jane Anger. I had the pleasure of playing Jane Anger opposite Michael Urie’s William Shakespeare. The show was featured in American Theatre Magazine and made NY Magazine’s Approval Matrix. If you missed it the first time around, it’s available to stream at JaneAngerPlay.com until June 26th!

I’m currently at Summerscape at Bard University starring in a brand new translation of Dom Juan by Sylvaine Guyot and Gideon Lester. Our director Ashley Tata has assembled an incredibly talented and kind group of people on and off stage to bring her bold vision to life. I’m humbled to be working with such an incredible company and so excited to have such a rich and juicy part to sink my teeth into. Vulture says they can’t wait to see me play the “titular cad.” Performances run until July 17th. Information and tickets here!
