The Faint- Doom Abuse

Young Frankenstein

AND! I am delighted to announce that i will be yodeling my way through The Omaha Community Playhouse’s      production of “Young Frankenstein” as Inga!  Rehearsals will begin soon… but, as this is Susie Baer- Collins and Carl Beck’s final show in their brilliant stay as Artisic Direction at the Playhouse, I am sure it will be, how do you say, “qvite a roll in ze hay! Ja!”  Both Susie and Carl, along with Jim Boggess have been instrumental in my decision of turning what was a hobby into a career. More on this production as it gets legs… and a brain. eh? eh? frankenstein. brain….. maybe i will leave the comedy to others more qualified 🙂

 

finding placement of Ada Wison,And if there wasn’t enough variety in my life, production has begun onDeath Grip Electric’s Web-Series “Heist” Looking forward to bringing my character, Ada Wilson to life in the second episode… and with the talented team of Michael Lang and Corey Hart, and the intense script by Chuck Mittan, this will be both a visually stunning and powerful drama…. dont worry,  I will keep you updated as we move forward.
