LAST FLIGHT OF THE MERCENARY a comedy of science & love – takes off this Sunday!

seaplane2I’m looking forward to stepping onto the stage this coming Sunday, April 12th at the Skylight Theatre! My accomplished cast & I will be doing a staged reading of the LAST FLIGHT OF THE MERCENARY, a romantic comedy about string theory, Shakespeare and nights without stars. This charming, witty and engaging new play is written by the very talented Karen Howes and directed by the skillful, Dennis Gersten.  In LAST FLIGHT OF THE MERCENARY, I play fiery Kate Eveland, a scientist committed to creating a time machine that will take her back in time to this one particular moment in her life when she made the wrong choice in love. Perhaps by traveling back in time, Kate can fix her past and thereby live in a happier present? That’s what she’s hoping for and so are we! Time machine, anyone?

LAST FLIGHT OF THE MERCENARY is part of Skylight Theatre’s INKubator Play Reading Series which offers a first glimpse into new projects.

The Four Freedoms and a Short

For the past few weeks I’ve been working on, what I believe, is going to become a very powerful short film.  In this short, I play the CEO & Owner of a successful advertising agency.  The subject matter, while I’m not able to say too much yet, is incredibly vital and relevant to our current society and is inspired by true events.  I am humbled to have been on a project such as this.

Our outstanding director, Faith Strongheart, assembled an exceptional cast & crew to bring this difficult story to life.  In addition, Faith and our wonderful producer, Michelle Brattson, brought on the skills of a top-notch stunt coordinator for our last day of shooting, as we had some very intricate scenes to capture.

Our stunt coordinator and his team were absolutely amazing!  I definitely have a new appreciation for the work that these folks do.  Wow.  As our stunt team walked us through the choreography, I was immediately reminded how even a tiny, tiny choreographed move needs to be so carefully approached and executed in order to avoid injury.

As always, I am ever so thankful when I have the opportunity to work alongside a dedicated, talented and supportive cast & crew and such was the case with this current film.  I will update again soon, once I’m able to say more.
