I had a breakthrough performance of my solo show “em-pathetic” at the PIT Loft Theatre in Solocom. With re-writes and new directorial guidance, I showed the audience what I was feeling and the depth of what I went through. The crowd was with me (I felt them) every step of the way. Can’t wait to work on the second part with Nancy Robillard and to perform the whole show again and again.

Such a great day on the set of East New York. From acting alongside the wonderful series regulars to contributing to a fantastic scene, I learned a ton and feel truly blessed.

So incredibly psyched to book a Co Star on East New York! Got it Friday (St. Paddy’s), shoots tomorrow. Luck of the Irish.🍀

Got an avail check and sent to producers by Telsey for East NY. Didn’t book but a total win.

For getting me an audition for East NY.

Saw myself in the film I shot playing opposite Julia Louis- Dreyfus. Such a fun scene. So proud.

Em-Pathetic was accepted into SoloCom 2023 at the PIT. I get to do 30 minutes of revised material. Late March. Not much time. I’ll have to do extra sessions with Nancy. I’ve come a long way since I performed Painfully Funny there in 2015.

Thrilled to be working with the talented director, Nancy Robillard, on my solo show, Em-Pathetic. We found each other in an Actors Fund Business Webinar on Zoom. She has an Off Broadway background and is attracted to new work that makes a difference. Like Em-Pathetic! She will help take my show to the next level.

Starting the New Year with good work. Auditioned for an indie and for Law & Order. Love working with Amber Crawford of NYC Actor Self Tapes. She uses substitution and other Method techniques that resonate with me. Feeling really good about what I’m sending out.

Keeping on keeping on the comedy road at UCB. So much fun taking John Murray’s Improv 301 and performing in the class show. In January, I’ll do Characters for Social Media with Hal Rudnick.
