The Wedding
Marriage: A social dimension in which all people have ties of excessive attraction or repulsion and express them continuously, behind their backs or in the face.
A play on the paucity of human relations. My character, written for me, was Maya Markovich. Maya is the Vicar's wife and Jazz singer. In love with the Vicar, she is a distraction to the other men (and women) at the party.

Haymarket: A New Folk Musical
The London premiere of Haymarket: A New Folk Musical took place at the Actor's Church, through the Iris Theatre's Workin Process Series. I was a part of the pick chorus, an actor-musical role where I played piano, bass guitar, banjo and mandolin. A Jeff-Award winning musical telling the gripping true story of Chicago’s infamous Haymarket Affair. The most important untold story in American history, brought to life by actor-musicians, singing and playing through the folk, Americana and bluegrass score.
