Much as of late...

hello, everyone

Happy New Year (belated)!

So much change in the air... but is it really change? I won't start in on politics, but if you have a chance, read this well-written article about where the money from the first stimulus package is supposed to go, and what the banks are doing with it: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28880095/

I have been doing a lot of projects lately, and many of you have been out to support me. I am grateful for that, as I couldn't do any of these things without an audience. I won the "Outstanding Individual Actor" award for my performance as 'Dionne Salon' in BEDBUGS!!!. I recently worked on a new musical called ALLIES, which uses the songs of the rock group Heart to tell a story. The first reading was January 26th, 2009 - in concert at BLVD (199 Bowery). There were so many people there, and it was thrilling to say the least!

I am sad to report that The Zipper Factory Theatre, the venue where I did my first two solo concerts in 2007, shuttered this past month. It is a great loss to the theater community, because that theater was an excellent space for readings, concerts, benefits, etc. Please, PLEASE support the cabaret, concert, and off-Broadway play circuit, if you can afford it!
