I am an actress, lighting designer, makeup artist, storyteller, and director.
I am the Artistic Director of Mermaid Productions, Co-Artistic Director of Fortune’s Fool Theatre, and a company member of both Freshwater Theatre and Ghoulish Delights.
A late bloomer, I didn’t discover my passion for theater until college. Making up for lost time and drawn to all aspects of the trade, I did more than 15 productions in my 4 years at the University of Minnesota.
You can find me at lighting tech in the morning and rehearsal at night, while still managing to pull a shift the same day at my worker-owned restaurant, the Hard Times Cafe.
Among my many skills a performer, I excel at all British Dialects, company devised work, classics, and heightened realism.
As a lighting designer I revel in stark imagery, absurdism, horror theater, physical theater, saturated color and extreme contrast.
I have worked on, produced and/or co-produced many award winning shows in my career including Theater Unbound’s all female JULIUS CAESAR, Fortune’s Fool Theater’s THE SKRIKER, Mermaid Productions’ XENA AND GABRIELLE SMASH THE PATRIARCHY and most recently, Fortune’s Fool Theatre’s 2022 Minnesota Fringe Festival show
THE HYSTERICAL WOMAN.
