I’ve had the opportunity over the last several months to participate in a few readings of Laura Jacqmin’s new work-in-progress, Two Lakes, Two Rivers. Laura is a really talented playwright (Dental Society Midwinter Meeting, Dead Pile, lots more) and the play is great! We’ll be doing a reading as part of Goodman Theatre’s New Stages Amplified festival, November 7th at 7:00pm in the Owen. Come! It’s free!
Performing my story “Phantom” at the Wilmette Theater, Saturday, October 22nd, 7:00 pm
Okay, so that headline is a little misleading – I’m actually directing a 2nd Story reading that will be performed at Steppenwolf as part of a pre-show event for Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf. Still, should be fun, and I hope if you’re attending the December event, you’ll say hello.
Wednesday, September 29th at Steppenwolf, 6:00pm
Come hear my story, CAT SHIT, and sample some wines!
(This is kind of fancy-pants, with a pricey ticket…)

Check out my story on 2nd Story’s Podcast. It’s about my first few months at DePaul’s Drama School (Goodman School of Drama).
Last week Eight Forty Eight included my Black Friday story on their program. They cut it down a bit, so you won’t hear me say all kinds of loving things about my mother-in-law and sister-in-law. So you’ll have to image that part of it.
It’s New Years Eve and we’re going to party like it’s 1999, because in 1999 I was not partying. I was sitting at home with my parents and husband playing scrabble. But I’m turning back the clock, so come get your Y2K on with me and a three other great story tellers.
This is your last chance, and I mean it, to hear my first 2nd Story story. It’s about shopping with my mother-in-law on Black Friday. December 13th and 14th.
I did it, went and got hitched…again. This time to the Serendipity Theatre Collective and 2nd Story. The truth is, I just wasn’t busy enough. Unless I feel so crazy busy, like I could skin a racoon with my bare hands and swallow it whole, I just need more too do. Check out my profile! Better yet, come here one of my stories.
By the way, I’m outreach director. Consider yourself reached.
So it begins. I am back on the road this August with Wavelength. I am performing in Tennessee, Texas, Indiana, Ohio, etc. Excited to be back in the company of educators as they prepare for the start of school.
Coming July 29th to Red Kiva: Don’t miss what happens when faries invade my garden and my daughter gets “fairy fever.”
Performing with Wavelength in Orlando June 23-25 for Sun Healthcare. Hilarious scripts…can’t wait.
