Monkeys and Agents and Strippers, Oh My!


So, clearly I suck at updating my website.  It’s been a whirlwind couple of months and I’m just now finding the time to sit down and write. In October, I started rehearsals for White Christmas on Broadway working as a child wrangler. Witnessing the creative and technical process with such a talented and dedicated cast was an exceptional experience. In the flurry of all the holiday madness, I also managed to shoot a commercial for Invisibelt.

After spending three months in a “White Christmas” (literally!), I was ready for a vacation, so David and I headed to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. It was an interesting experience…to say the least. After which, I wrote a less than flattering review on TripAdvisor. However, I was grateful for the time I got to spend with David and Brenda the Monkey.

In February I suddenly found myself as parent to 22 children (take that Octomom!!) Seeing as they were the adorable and frighteningly talented cast members of Billy Elliot, I don’t have to worry about stretch marks. It has reunited me with my friend Bobby Wilson, the Founding Father of Modern Day Child Wrangling, with whom I worked with on La Boheme.  In addition to fostering the youth of Broadway, I was accepted into Wynn Handman’s Acting Class. I’m so honored to be working with such a legend and to be studying with fellow actors who further inspire me.

In March, I started working with the Fifi Oscard Agency. Can I tell you how excited I am to have the same agent as William Shatner?!?! Since then, I booked a print job for Egg Baby Clothing and shot an episode for the web series Morning Bitch, where I played an underage stripper at an all-redhead strip club. My career is looking up!

Early this month, I went to Houston to see my talented husband, David Weitzer and my good friend Andrea Rivette in Les Miserables at Theater Under the Stars in Houston. It was a great production and I was so proud of them both!

I’m also excited to be Assistant Directing a production of Squiggy and the Goldfish with Michael Roderick, who is one of the co-producers of ROOMS, off-Broadway. The production will be performed at the Workshop Theater in New York City in May. Stay tuned for more details.
