Q – How long have you been involved in theater?

I made hand puppets and wrote them shows when I was 12, but lost interest when my parents wouldn’t let us charge 5 cents admission. Many years later, I performed a bit with Generic Theater, my favorite role being Jason in the feminist play, Collateral Damage. Now I sometimes tell stories on WSCA 106.1 True Tales Radio.

Q – What are some of your favorite recent productions?

I loved Billy Butler’s latest Musical Missing: Wynter and Generic Theater’s Other Desert Cities both at the Players’ Ring this season… Oh yes, and that Moliere play at W.E.S.T., School for Wives

Q – Have you performed in the Vagina Monologues before?

No.

Q – What made you want to be involved in V-Day this year?

I wish I could say it was that, at my mature age, I suddenly discovered my vagina. But, actually, I had the time and like monologues.

Q – Who is the most influential woman in your life?

Myself.

Q – What or who inspires you?

The work of 350.org which has an issue-specific (stop the KXL pipeline) approach to the climate crises. And my mother who keeps on keeping on at age 95.

Q – How long have you been involved in theater?

1 year!! That’s it. But it’s been an incredible year. Since November of 2013 I have performed in 2 play readings with Kent Stephens Stage Force, 2 late night shows at the DARWiNS WAiTiNG ROOM which was the season opener for the Players Ring.

Q – What are some of your favorite recent productions?

Can I just say all of the above? Each performance was so significant and valuable to me in their own way. But if I must choose, it would be DARWiNS WAiTiNG ROOM. On top of it being an incredibly well written and entertaining show, the cast had a chemistry that was so strong people from the audience commented on it afterwards.

Q – Have you performed in the Vagina Monologues before?

Nope!

Q – What made you want to be involved in V-Day this year?

Several things. 1. It is a fundraiser for two organizations whose work is tremendously important. And to be involved in an event that supports them and will allow them to continue their mission is truly an honor. 2. I want to perform in this show and with Back Alley Productions!

Q – Who is the most influential woman in your life?

Wow. That’s a hard one quite frankly. Honestly, I can’t name just one. I am surrounded by amazing women, each who teach me something different. I treasure all of them.

Q – What or who inspires you?

A couple years ago my family experienced a difficult life event. And during that time, my community around me rallied together and provided a tremendous amount of support for us. It was so moving that whenever I talk about it I am moved to tears. The kindness shown to me and my family in a time of need inspires me in everything I do.

Q – How long have you been involved in theater?

I’ve been acting since I was 8 years old! This winter marks year twenty…

Q – What are some of your favorite recent productions?

Performing as Bianca with Seven Stages Shakespeare Company in their June production of “The Taming of the Shrew” was a blast , and most recently working with Kent Stephens and Stage Force on their Strawbery Banke commission was a great intersection of my two loves: theatre and history. My favorite recent part remains however, playing Beth in “A Lie of the Mind” at the Player’s Ring in the fall of 2013.

Q – Have you performed in the Vagina Monologues before?

Yes! I performed in two productions of the Vagina Monologues through my student-run theater group in college, but I was able to work with Back Alley in V-DayPortsmouth and Rochester last year for the first time performing “Because he liked to look at it.”

Q – What made you want to be involved in V-Day this year?

After seeing the tremendous amount of positive energy, creativity and fundraising that the 2013 & 2014 production contributed… How could I turn down the chance to return?!

Q – Who is the most influential woman in your life?

My mother is the most amazing woman I know. She is an incredible example of strength, grace and love. She’s my best friend, my role model, and my favorite shopping buddy.

Q – What or who inspires you?

My friends and family: Seeing the amazing things that the people around me accomplish gives me all of the inspiration that I need to tackle anything on my to-do list, including things that I haven’t thought possible yet!
