Right now, I have the joy of playing “Queen Jadis” the White Witch of Narnia on the stage at The Rose Theater in Omaha, NE.

“Narnia” runs until December 29th….

Fridays @ 7pm; Saturdays and Sundays @2pm, with a special Thursday Dec 26th performance at 7pm….

Bob Fischbach, of the Omaha World Herald, wrote,  “Engaging leads, strong staging and a couple of emotional ballads make the Rose’s production of “Narnia” more than watchable. Add a ballet-inspired featured dancer and strong design work on scenery, lighting and costumes, and a thumbs up is an easy call.”

and can i say how SUPER excited i am to be volunteering again this yearat Sundance?! Lets just say my first experience helping facilitate the “New Frontier” exhibit, left me inspired and wanting more… you have to check out the installations for this years festival! Its one thing to make/watch movies… but what happens when you manipulate the medium to create new experiences that allow us to interact as a community, both your immediate “community” and the larger sense of the whole? many of these artists are engaging just those concepts and allowing the spectator to participate in its evolution… lovely!!
