Hello 2025! Geez, I really need to update this new section more, huh? I hope everyone is having a great start to the new year. Since I last posted, a lot has been going on. See some highlights of what I’ve been up to below!
-In 2023, I began teaching at NYU/The Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute. Its been a rewarding
new adventure, especially considering i went here for college. I teach Comedy and Developing Your Career and its been very joyous passing down what I’ve learned to the next generation! :) But boy do I feel old! I’m also continuing to teach individual workshops at places like The Florida State Thespian Festival and more!
-UCB is back up and running! After a several year shutdown post the pandemic, NYC’s most prestigious comedy theatre has returned to a new theatre on 14th street. I was grateful to be asked back to act on Maude Night (their house sketch team) with my new team PETTY CRIME. We’ve performed a new sketch show every month since May 2024 and we are going strong!
-Who you gonna call? Last year, my husband and I got cast in ‘Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire’. We played a tourist couple who gets caught up in a storm of ghosts. Very sadly, our scene got cut (thats show biz, kid!) , but getting to spend a day on camera with my husband was a BLAST. We just kept laughing that there was a big wind machine and all these background actors just for us to argue with each other in this scene. Haha!
Other than that, still performing stand up comedy all over the city and numerous cabarets/concerts. And we are almost done renovating the inside of our upstate lake house. A true labor of love.
I tend to explore games out of curiosity more than anything else, and this one caught my attention for its simplicity. Early on, it feels easy to follow, but as you continue, the Rummy game reveals more depth than it initially shows. Somewhere along the way, you begin noticing how small choices influence the flow of each round. That discovery process is what kept me interested, because it feels like you’re gradually uncovering more rather than being shown everything upfront.
