“Women are 51% of the population, but women playwrights write less than 15% of the productions on Broadway. That won’t change overnight, but here’s a start: Six playwrights-all young, all female-collaborate on an evening of short works. Each will write one play, direct another, and provide an outside eye for a third. Add a set of constraints and an ensemble cast and see what combusts!”

– Annex Theatre

And I am one of the lucky actors chosen to help bring these plays to life!

Come see us August 4-19, Tuesdays & Wednesdays at 8pm.

The 14/48 Projects present four evenings of remounts of plays written for 14/48: The World’s Quickest Theatre Festival. I had an amazing time playing on Friday with Pilar O’Connell, Alyssa Keene, & Hattie Andres – directed by Tyrone Brown.

There are two more nights of director curated plays coming up on Friday & Saturday. I sadly can’t be there but hope you can!

14/48 brings our community together in a way nothing else does and the work created there is something special. Check it out!

Vendetta Operetta by Celene Ramadan

2015…

It has arrived. Which can only mean that SnowGlobed [4.0] has come & gone. Check out http://www.playinginprogress.com for full details on our successful run at theater schmeater.

2015 has brought me a couple of great PR/Social Media Marketing gigs. Including consulting with Strawberry Theatre Workshop & their production of OUR TOWN. And full on marketing for Ponyworld’s NW Premiere of “We Are Proud to Present a Presentation About the Herero of Namibia, Formerly Known as South-West Africa, From the German Sudwestafrika, Between the Years 1884-1915.” by Jackie Sibblies Drury. A production I am very excited to get people to come and see, and more importantly talk about afterwards.

I am also very excited to announce that I will be directing for ACT’s Young Playwright’s Program [YPP] this year. I will be helping a middle school student develop her play to be presented in the festival this March. I have really missed my arts ed work and I am very excited to have this opportunity to get back to it.

After that…
Well.
There is always more to come…

#SoftClick of a Switch

#SoftClick of a Switch

I’ve created an interactive social media based project to help MAP Theatre gather photos needed for their upcoming production of Soft Click of a Switch this September. I’m getting the chance to explore ways of using social media not only to advertise our art but create it.

Not only will we be using the photos we gather from our friends, family & fans as props in the show. I will be building an evolving ‘Living Mural’ in the storefront of Kaladi’s Coffee on Capitol Hill out of the photos as they are collected.

This is all new to me but something I am insanely curious about investigating. I hope y’all will follow my adventure & come play with me & MAP Theatre!
