IN THE WORKS:
​

I've been doing *a lot* of knitting recently -  check it out here.

I am eternally in the midst of revising and workshopping a play I wrote, ​Meat Suit. Meat Suit is an absurdist comedy exploring embodiment in relation to gender dysphoria and chronic pain, as portrayed by an evil clown and giant teddy bear respectively. When two people meet at a body struggles support group, they start a relationship and try to evade the clown and bear that torment them. Eventually, the couple tries to escape their bodies entirely through the art of astral projection. Meat Suit offers an absurdist take on how we are to treat this meat suit we drag around with us every day.

RECENT NEWS:
​

In May 2023, I was in a reading of Kyle Seamus Brosnihan's new play The Cappuccinos at The Brick Aux.

In March 2023, I played Juliet (and, very importantly, Gregory) in In BK Productions' Romeo + Juliet. Read Rhiannon Ling's review here. 

In February 2023, I went to LA to shoot a short film about tooth fairies with lillixlili (currently in post-production) and some under wraps TV pilot materials. 


I was lucky enough to travel for a lot of theatre in 2022 - I was in Dallas, TX, acting in Fair Assembly's Macbeth and in Lincoln, NE, playing Maria in the world premiere of Nancy Shank's This Mortal Life Also.

And, of course, Landon and I were in this CVS vaccination spot:
