I ought to go back to my resume and actually verify this, but I’m pretty sure it’s been a decade since I’ve played a dramatic role in a dramatic play – Queen Gertrude in a gender-bent version of Hamlet in college, directed by my favorite old salt, the recently departed George Poletes. I loved that man. Alright, hang on, a decade?! – that really can’t be true (searching resume) No! Wait! I played the lead in Behind a Mask for Hardcover Theater in (searching internet) 2004. Thank you, internets! So it’s only been half a decade. Phew. And by the way, I loved those plays – period costumes, wooing men in order of societal importance, deception, intrigue – delightful nefariousness!

So either I could frame my present production as dusting off an old photograph – a little brittle, a little yellowed; or I could frame this as the whatever-it-is-that-makes-some-wines-awesome-with-age awesomening. The goal is the latter. Regardless of frame, me doing drama = rare bird. So come see.

[...] October Lead role of Hannah in Table Salt Productions’ inaugural show, Burned at the Gremlin Theatre. Nothing like spending an hour before each performance putting glue on my face, letting it dry and manipulating it and coloring it to make it look like nasty scar tissue. While it was a serio-comic post-apocalyptic tale, it was a joy to make a foray back into dramatic work. Read a little more about it. [...]
