ZOOM readings of musicals are fun and challenging! I had the pleasure of playing Fan Fan Xiu in a developmental reading of Marcus Yi’s new commission, Lucky 88. I was able to work with actors whom I have had the pleasure of working with before and some whom I have admired for a long time!
Production was directed by Dev Bondarin.

My favorite writing team, Marcus Perkins and Kim Jinhyoung, were selected to take part in the 2020 National Music Theatre Conference with their wonderful musical, Two Nights and Three Days. This year’s conference took place over Zoom. Lots of laughs were had over the week!
Mommy Milk Cafe is a short 10-minute play I wrote during quarantine. It was selected to be read this Summer in The Players Theatre Short Play Festival. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, the festival will take place on-line over Zoom. I am thrilled to present this short piece of writing.
Four female-identifying humans, two groups of two friends, enjoy fancy lattes at a trendy NYC cafe. Tension builds as each group believes the other is talking about them. Everything comes to a standstill as one of the women moves to make things right. The cast features four female identifying characters. My vision is that the women are between 20-35 in age, but this is a loose guideline. There is one supporting character, the barista, who I encourage to be any age and any gender identity.
Commercial for Broadcast!
