Spring Awakening

I am thrilled to announce I will be playing "Adult Female" in Spring Awakening coming this summer to the Hayworth Theatre, Los Angeles.

Spring Awakening information:
 We are proud to bring a stylistic, music-driven production of the rock sensation SPRING AWAKENING to Los Angeles. This heartbreaking story, with its themes of teen suicide, sexuality and identity, coupled with a pulsing folk-rock score is still as poignant today as it was when it premiered off, and on, Broadway in 2006.

In a limited engagement, SPRING AWAKENING will raise the volume of awareness for Love is Louder for six performances.


Book and Lyrics by Steven Sater
Music by Duncan Sheik
Based on the play by Frank Wedekind

Directed by Kate Sullivan Gibbens
Musical Direction by Michael Christopher Luebke

Produced by
Topher Rhys
Jamie Lee Barnard
Nathan Gardner

Presented by
glory|struck productions
Love is Louder http://loveislouder.com/.

A Chorus Line/ I Remember Lou

Spring 2012 updates!
 Currently music directing the spring teen production of A Chorus Line for the Academy of Children's Theatre. Performances start in April at Theatre West. For more information and tickets go to http://www.act-1.org/.

In other exciting news, I am thrilled to announce that I will be directing the new full length musical     I Remember Lou at the Whitefire Theatre in Sherman Oaks. Performances run June 1st - July 8th. For audition information please go to http://casting.backstage.com. Auditions start March 21st.

I Remember Lou is a musical comedy in classical Broadway style. It's filled with melodic, easy-to-sing live music, romance, dancing and likeable characters. Lou Goldfarb wants to be a good son, husband and father, but his devotion to his job of helping poor people who live in slum buildings makes it hard to get his life in balance. Did he succeed?

NEW YEARS EVE PARTY
Friday December 31st
8:30pm to 12:30am
Call for tickets (818) 884-1907 

Tickets include dinner, drinks and more!

Synopsis of the show: It is the fifth anniversary of the death of Lord Rutherford. Lady Rutherford is throwing her annual dinner in commemoration of the event-- to which you are cordially invited. On arrival you are given a character name and a dossier explaining your background and connection to the Rutherford family. Over cocktails, you mingle with the other guests, spotting the Baroness von Keepsemfrumfloppen and figuring she's an actress, but what about all these other people? Suddenly, there's a gunshot resulting in the evening's first corpse. The body is removed and you sit down to dinner. A detective reveals himself and begins the investigation. What have you observed so far? Have you a clue to the killer? Clues seem to be everywhere, but which ones count and which are red herrings? Ultimately, there is a parade of suspects. You may question them. Perhaps you ask just the right question at the right time and unmask the murderer. Perhaps you ask the wrong question and become the prime suspect! You begin to wonder: will you survive till the coffee and cordials are served? In the end, all is revealed and justice prevails. The Silver Sleuth Award is given to the guest who best explained the who, why and how dunit of the murder at Rutherford House.
