A Return to In Person Theater

After a long 16 months, I am so grateful to be returning to the stage in the World Premier of “Persuasion” with Bedlam at the Connelly Theater Off-Broadway. Even in the best of times, I would be happy to be working in New York on material that I adore, but after the theatrical hibernation of the pandemic, it feels nothing short of miraculous to be rehearsing with other people again. This adaptation of Jane Austen’s beloved novel was written by Sarah Rose Kearns and directed by Eric Tucker. The show will run from September 11th till October 31st. More information and tickets can be found here.

In addition to acting in a costume drama, I’m excited to be playing multiple roles in this production including my first time gender bending! I will portray the vapid Elizabeth Elliot, Anne’s elder sister; the agreeable Mrs. Croft, one half of the happiest couple in Jane Austen; and the deeply feeling Captain Benwick, one of Anne’s potential suitors. Rehearsals are off to a great start, and I truly look forward to performing on stage again!

In Rehearsal for "Sense & Sensibility" at VA Stage

Rehearsals are well underway for “Sense & Sensibility” at Virginia Stage Company in Norfolk, VA. As a longtime Janeite, I am delighted to play Lucy Steele and others in one of Miss Austen’s most beloved works as well as perfecting my 18th century British accent, wearing period costumes, and rolling around on set pieces, all of which have been put on wheels! Jessica Holt directs this madcap adaptation with joy and vigor.

We begin previews on January 22nd and open on January 25th. For more information and tickets, please click here.
