Favorite Types of Projects
British Comedies
I have been drawn to British comedies ever since I played a French maid in Noel Coward's Private Lives as a teenager. One of my favorite roles I've played is Anne de Bourgh in Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley. In the future, I hope to do more Jane Austen adaptations such at Kate Hamill's Emma.
Modernized Shakespeare
While I enjoy all Shakespeare, I am especially fond of the shows that have young actors who feel like they were plucked from modern day. It's hard to choose a favorite, but I always seem to return to Romeo and Juliet.
Greek Adaptations
I have had several impactful moments watching Greek adaptations including Mary Zimmerman's Argonautika or Sarah Ruhl's Eurydice. The form allows for a type of freedom you can't get in other theater productions. I always want to see a Greek play go to the far reaches with movement and design.
