Recent & recent-ish action!

2025: AVAILABLE HOOKS is my solo rock musical in progress, a collaboration with Greta Gertler Gold, Rob Jost & Portia Krieger... Greta got herself this Joe's Pub gig last March, and I got to perform a song from our show for the first time! Then in July, Greta and Portia Krieger and I got to spend some glorious workshop time in the Berkshires, thanks to the great people at WAM Theatre. Watch this space for more on AVAILABLE HOOKS...

2023: MORE The Tangent Artist! My serial cabaret returned November 14 and 21. Two shows planned at once, that's BIG. Less serially, both revive version 2, previously performed February 28 and June 14, 2023. That pic? Well, Victoria Myers determined I needed a rooftop, my Kate Hepburn pants, and the fab photographer Tess Mayer. Clearly I should go up to the roof more often. (And also perform more often, it's been a while...)

-- New York Theatre Review

STRETCH
(a fantasia)

– The New York Times

TANIA IN THE
GETAWAY VAN

Picture
a play about a mom caught up, a girl in retreat, power & time.

"The theme that Tania in the Getaway Van knocks out of the park is how revolutionary social change can seem so ordinary while living it" -- Ludus NY

BIG HUNGRY WORLD

a play about 2 billionaires, a movie star, the philanthropic impulse 
& how we value work.
