I might not post specifically about an audition clip, but, as Mercury Retrograde surely had something to do with how it long it took for me to finally get this one done, I feel like I need to share it. Sound issues, cords breaking, iMovie not letting me edit...Some of these videos actors need to make, now that our business is changing for a while longer, are just going to take longer than others, but I had some fun making it and hope you enjoy it. At some point, I'll record the whole song...and hopefully, it won't take quite as long...

As I have mentioned previously, I have a wonderful church gig. Due to Covid-19, said gig has been virtual. Now, there is a favorite hymn we do, that, while movies tend to have villains and sociopaths hum it, we just feel it needs puppets. So, of course, I had to make a puppet take for this past week. You can check it out here.
Hope you get a giggle out of it, during the time of corona. Wear your mask(s) and stay safe, folks.

Hey there, all! Above are our growing, and presently sleeping, kittens, Sonic and Flerken. I was rehearsing a new song (for me) tonight and they have proven to be a tough crowd. 
Yesterday, though, I got the opportunity to record a story for the Queens Theatre storytelling series, curated by fab teller, David Lawson. The videos will be posted late summer/early fall and should be quite amazing. (Seriously, I am in ridiculously talented company.) One day, we'll be able to see all these wonderful stories told live again, but until then, keep an eye for the Queens Theater storyteller
series online. #keepingtheatrealiveifnotlive
Peace ✌🏽

I tend to lose track of a year by the end of March, and normally, I don't even need a pandemic to do that, but this year...raise your hand if you've also lost track of time and space...
In the meantime, when not being driven to distraction by the news, I have been doing Zoom readings of plays, including an adapted version of writer Rebecca Salomonsson's "Outrageous Fortune". Imagine Shakespeare's most famous tragic characters meet for group therapy, with Prospero as their moderator. Now imagine them doing it over Zoom. It was hilarious and fun and I was honored to play Prospero. I'm listening...
Speaking of reading, I FINALLY have VO clips available on line! HERE, you can listen to a little corporate razzle dazzle, while HERE is a, sadly timely, clip from a poignant radio play called Sidewalk Prayer. I played Mama, the grandmother of a teenage boy brought down by gun violence outside his own home. 
ON THAT NOTE, let's close this entry by raising a glass to Richard and Mildred Loving. June 12th, 1967, the Supreme Court heard the case of Loving v. Virginia. And they ruled unanimously in their favor. As a daughter of mixed parentage, this story is close to my heart. The Supreme Court voted for love that day. They voted against hate, and bigotry. In this time of tumult, let's remember this happened. Let's raise up this story, to remind us justice was once done. And while the present administration would rather promote division and cruelty, if you've seen the top books being sold, how many people are looking up the massacre of Black Wall Street, and how many companies are deciding to mark Juneteeth as an official office holiday, I'd say we have signs of hope for the rest of the country. #blacklivesmatter #Lovematters
