Roy

This Holiday season, my dreams finally came true when I booked a short film with a dog as one of my co-stars! I am thrilled to have been a part of Roy, which follows Kris (Rachel Carerri) and Jessie (me!) as they break into Kris’ ex-boyfriend’s house in an attempt to steal his dog. This was such a joy to film, and I am so glad to have been a part of an amazing and hard working team.
Stay tuned for the final cut!

Next on the docket, a one-night-only performance in A Long Trip at the Saint Sebastian Players 10-Minute Play Festival. I'll be playing the The Woman, Younger in a short story about a woman with Alzheimer's trying to relive the moment she and her husband had their first kiss.

Written and Directed by Dan McGeehan.

This month I begin production for my second feature film, Carmilla Vive!, the follow up to the award-winning Modern Gothic vampire film Carmilla (2015). "In many ways Carmilla Vive! is not a sequel, but a re-imagining of the story, themes, and the central character Carmilla." Find out more at carmillavive.com.

I am thrilled to be playing the Callers in the staged reading of Pizza Hut Heartbreaker by Brynne Frauenhoffer. The reading is the second and final performance in the Outset Reading Series at Commssion Theatre, and will be directed by Lindsey Marsland.

From an informative father teaching about "the birds and the bees", to an over-the-top Dungeons and Dragons dungeon master, I'm back and ready to play some of the weirdest characters yet in The Storefront's 18th edition of their monthly sketch revue, The Storefront Gets Sketchy: Eighteen and Older.

I will be joining The Loop Players in their Spring production of By The Way, Meet Vera Stark by Lynn Nottage. Previously performing with the company as Georgeanne in Five Women Wearing The Same Dress, I am thrilled to return to their stage to play Gloria in Nottage's important and relevant script about racial stereotypes in Hollywood.

The Storefront has been so kind as to ask me to join them for the first time in their monthly sketch revue, The Storefront Gets Sketchy. This month? XV Minutes of Fame. How would this little Leo gal be able to stray away from such a title?

I learned how to do the funny! After a year of improv and sketch classes, and a month-long run of our final show, They Go Low, We Get High (Directed by Norm Holly), I graduated from The Second City Training Center! HEEYOOO. What a year, y'all. What. A. YEAR.

Sketch Fest 2017

Finishing off the year strong baybee! I will play Dr. Candace Pegula in the staged sitcom, Tenured, written and directed by Hannah Shepard and Haley Keeley. The story follows a group of college professors dealing with budget cuts, Sexy Jesus, and a (definitely not broken) vending machine named Candi.

The show will be at Trapdoor Theatre and presented by The Storefront Theatre.

I had such a blast with (real life best friend) Lindsey Marsland performing in the 2016 Women's Theatre Alliance Showcase,  portraying Ben Affleck and Matt Damon (also real life best friends) in a scene from Matt & Ben, by Mindy Kaling and Brenda Withers. We were directed by (other real life best friend) Kelsey Godfrey. Lots of friends, lots of laughs, and lots of Good Will Hunting movie nights.

After filming all summer long, Ginger is wrapped! I played the role of Bree, Ginger's best friend. This was my debut feature-length film, and the biggest film project I've worked on. Ginger is in post production and then will begin entering the festival circuit in 2018! Keep your eyes peeled for "a 23 year old woman's pretty funny, slightly sad, powerfully emotional guide to breast cancer".

Catch me in Elaine Soloway's staged reading for her pilot, Layover, the story of a woman who decides to open up her house for pilots in need of housing during their "layovers" in Chicago, while simultaneously grieving the death of her late husband. I will read for Caroline and Flight Attendant #1, and will be playing with some of Chicago's most well-known actors and comedians. What a superb opportunity! I could not be more excited!

I am stoked to have joined the cast of the new webseries, Line Please, playing the role of Layla - the weird roommate who dresses in tie-dye, smokes a lot of illegal substances, and is an avid environmental activist. The pilot will be filmed in early June, and will be submitted to the New York Television Festival.

Line Please is written, directed, and produced by Haley Keeley.

In the next couple of weeks, I will be playing the lead role in a short film with Columbia College called, The Lonely Heart. The film is about two close friends, but one wants to take their friendship to the next level. Will things start getting steamy?

I was recently accepted in to the Conservatory Program at the Second City Training Center! I am currently in my fifth week of improv classes under the instruction of Second City Hollywood's, Holly Wortell. I am excited to finish out Level 1 of classes with a bang (or honestly, maybe a bust) (it's improv so you don't know) (I'll just go with the flow) (and do my best) (yeah yeah yeah).
