Two of my favorite people in LA are Dana Weddle and Michael Dalke. They are funny, truthful, fearless, and can sing the hogs out of the hills! (Is that a thing?) They raised over $4,000 on Kickstarter (see below) to make their dream of performing the musical The Last Five Years come true! They brought in Kirk Mason and I to give notes close to opening and it felt wonderful to get to help direct the show!

I had my first feature film debut- not really :) I'm in a photo in the movie, ha! But the cool part is, our friend, Chelsea Peters, produced the feature, Ritual, and it was bought by Lionsgate!

I'm smitten with this historical little town that has a pride as deep as the city is beautiful, a dialect as unique as it hilarious, and a theatre scene that is as rich as it is loving. Thank you to the community there for your open arms and laughter-filled hearts.

The Pittsburgh Post Gazette named the show 3rd Best Theater Production for all of 2013! And mentioned Patrick Jordan (in the first pic) as one of the Best Actors of 2013, myself as one of the Best Actresses and our five person cast as one of the Best Ensembles! That feels nice. And best of all, the other actress in the show, Daina Griffith, won Performer of the Year for her genius work in the seven plays she did this year!
