About Me

I'm a busy lady right now: I'm producing, co-directing and acting in two plays that I wrote come August; I'm compiling my first documentary; I'm writing my second screenplay which I'll eventually produce, co-direct and star in; Later this year I'm also hoping to start filming some sketch comedy videos that I've been working on. If all goes according to plan and God willing, all this will be in progress by the end of the year. So, you can see it's an ambitious year for me. Let's hope I don't burn out!Here's a little sample of the improv stuff I've been up to - I'd like to do a lot more, hopefully getting better. Stay tuned!..

My Interests

"I believe in the immortality of the theatre. It is the most joyous hideaway for all those who secretly put their childhood in their pocket and went off and away to play further on to the end of their days." - Max Reinhardt, Austrian director/producer (1873-1943)

I'd like to meet:

The Cat in the Hat, a cowboy, tons of actors and artists, my ancestors, the dragon from "There's No Such Thing as a Dragon," Kermit the Frog, Mr. Shakespeare, Monty Python, Dennis Wilson, John Paul Jones and my future husband! I WOULD NOT LIKE TO MEET: other than the obvious (serial killers, etc.); a ghost, a shark, or Jessica Simpson.

Movies:

Breakfast at Tiffany's, Singin' in the Rain, Tea with Mussolini, Goodfellas, Pane e Tulipani (Bread and Tulips), Italiensk for begyndere (Italian for Beginners), The History Boys, Mrs. Doubtfire, The Departed, Cinema Paradiso, P.S.
