I received a Carbonell Nomination for Best Supporting Actress as Female Greek Chorus, in "How I Learned to Drive". |
11/3/06- Back from Blowing Rock, N.C. "Dairy Queen Days" went extremely well, considering the very short rehearsal period: 7 days plus 2 days of tech. Everyone was also very pleased with audience attendance, as this was the first Fall show ever produced. No reviews, though, as Blowing Rock and Boone newspapers publish weekly and do not happen to review theatre. Next up: "Deathtrap" at Maltz/Jupiter Theatre. Rehearsals start on December 19th. For more information and pictures about Blowing Rock, click on my blog link, above. |

Plays to be developed during the residency include new works by Vanessa Garcia, Javon Johnson, Guillermo Reyes, and Ajene D. Washington."

An important piece about the initial inaction of FDR's administration and American Jews, in light of the genocide of the Jews in Nazi Germany.
