Favorite Role I Have Played
Opera, Mimi in LA BOHEME and title role in BABY DOE. Widow Corey in Deaf West's OLIVER! The depth, fearlessness and physicality of Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Artists was a profound personal experience and masterclass. I became a better actor.

Favorite MTG Show I Have Been In
TITANIC! Being in MTG for 25 years, with Forever Friends and with Calvin Remsberg at the helm of this massive choral piece, I just fell in love with the glorious music and characters. Every time I think about it, I'm full hearted.
Funniest / Most Memorable Thing That's Happened to Me on Stage
Something about doing a 3 second nude scene for an extra $50 in HAIR at Sacramento's Music Circus, losing my caftan onstage to exit offstage, jumping into the oleander bushes surrounding the tent, and the conductor wrapping me in his white dinner jacket, saving me from thousands of people exiting for popcorn at intermission. -The Life of a Young Chorus Girl Doing Summer Stock
