I am a "mature" actress, mother of six and grandmother of 16.
Since my first impromptu performance in front of my nursery school some 60+ years ago, I have performed on stages in Virginia, Colorado, Georgia and New York in roles ranging from gods to devils, matrons and mentors, from classical plays to musicals. On film, I played a jilted bride in The Mafia Priest's Mystery episode of FATHER DOWLING MYSTERIES, David Keith's drunken girlfriend in the Bart Freudlich's WORLD TRAVELER and appeared in commercials for Mile High United Way, C.A.R.E. International, and Alabama Power.
In Georgia (1995-2014) I built a reputation for playing disturbing and eccentric women, including scholarly, articulate cancer patient Vivian in Wit, caustic Virginia Woolf in Process Theatre's production of Marki Shalloe's SUICIDE MANUAL, the title character in Marki Shalloe's one-woman play, O'KEEFFE: PAINTINGS FROM THE FARAWAY, NEARBY (reprised in San Jose, CA at the Tabard Theater Company), Victoria in Stage Door Players' MOONLIGHT & VALENTINO, Lilly Benewski in GEEK LOVE with Sensurround Stagings (an abridged version performed at the New York Fringe Festival in 2004), Kathryn in THE HOMAGE THAT FOLLOWS with Dad's Garage, Nat in RABBIT HOLE with New Depot Players (Atlanta Metropolitan Theatre Award for actress in a supporting role) and Gertrude in HAMLET at The Atlanta Shakespeare Tavern.
When I'm not hanging out with my husband, Skip, and our fur family (4 cats and 2 dogs) you can find me knitting, crocheting, sewing, reading and doing "virtual 5ks" on my treadmill. My "bucket list" includes someday doing a marathon.
