I was a part of the Philadelphia production, "Tony and Tina's Wedding" for eight months. During the first five months, I played Loretta, caterer and Godmother to the bride. After that I had the awesome experience of playing Connie, the pregnant maid of honor. Then after being away from the show for a whole year, the traveling troupe came to my hometown, Trenton, NJ. I once again played Connie for the week!

When news came that "The Pink Flamingo Murders of 1933" was closing after a two month run, I was heartbroken. It was where I got to play my favorite theatrical role of all time, Pickles, the cigarette girl!

In "The Vagina Monologues", I opened the show with "Hair".

Before that I did a double run of "Times Two" and "Homeowner's Blues" the first run was directed by Margaux St. Ledger, former QVC spokeswoman. The second was directed by Philadelphia's well known director, Andrew Merkel. (Clips from the first run can be viewed on this page by clicking the link to the right.)

I performed at the Producer's Club in Manhattan in "Sex is More Than a Three Letter Word". I got to play two very different roles - a naive bride and a provacative sex education teacher.

My very best stage performance was captured when I portrayed Kristine in "Blinding Light". In this very intense and dramatic role written by William Mastrosimone, I broke down in tears while admitting I could not handle my job as a disector in an abortion clinic, especially since I had recently had an abortion.

"One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" at Kelsey Theatre was quite memorable. I was Nurse Flinn in addition to being the understudy for Nurse Ratched.

"Glossing Over" was at Altered Stages in Manhattan. I rotated through a variety of different roles in that stage production- Beverly, a company vice president; Roxy, a high power exectutive; and Peggi, a southern woman with little to no street smarts.

I starred in an original play, "Things Best Swept Under the Rug" in Philadelphia. During the show, I wrote and directed the females of the production in a special presentaton of "Now That We've Got Time". It was performed on the final Night of "Things... " as a thank you gift to the directors.

Starring in "Compatible", directed by my first acting teacher, Mrs. Kelly Lake, I had my first experience with romance on stage.

In "Terror Behind the Walls", I played Batty, a psychotic inmate. It was definitely the most physically exhausting performance ever for me.

My first theatre experience, out of high school, was in the interactive murder mystery dinner theatre production, "Murder at the Liarton Mansion". I, of course, was the murderer!
