Excited that I nabbed a small role in a fun new ABC pilot. Shooting next week. Check back here for more details once I am authorized to blab about them!
I'm very proud that my play "Miss Keller Has No Second Book" was in the top 30 plays (out of 750) in the prestigious PlayPenn 2016 New Play Development Conference. Congrats to all the finalists!
Look for me in a brief appearance in Episode 10 of Judd Apatow's new sitcom "Love," available for streaming anytime on Netflix. I play Carly, sex and relationship addict, in a scene with the talented and kind Gillian Jacobs and Robin Tunney, among others.
Honored to announce that my play, "Miss Keller's Second Book" is a Semi-Finalist in this year's Eugene O'Neill National Playwrights Conference. The Eugene O’Neill Theater Center is the country’s preeminent organization dedicated to the development of new works and new voices for the American theater. The O’Neill has been home to more than 1,000 new works for the stage and 2,500 emerging artists. Scores of projects developed at the O’Neill have gone on to full production at other theaters around the world, including Broadway, Off-Broadway, and major regional theaters.
In "Miss Keller's Second Book," it’s been nearly 50 years since the notoriously reclusive Agnes Keller published her first and only book. Now, with her protective sister recently deceased, Agnes must face the pressures from outside her small sanctuary as she grapples with the inevitability of change, the tangled tethers of family, and the question of an artist’s obligation to the world.
My latest play, "Miss Keller's Second Book," was announced as a finalist in Chicago's Route 66 "Test Drive" New Play Workshop today, and I'm so happy about it! I was just working on a new draft of this one, and it's so encouraging to get this kind of validation to keep working on it.
Route 66 Theatre Company introduces, develops, produces, and exports new work for the stage that embrace the American spirit of exploration and risk.
Here's the synopsis for "Miss Keller's Second Book:"

Written and directed by talented SNL writer Chris Kelly, "Other People" is a wonderful indie film starring Jesse Plemons, Molly Shannon, Bradley Whitford, and more. It also has the honor of being one of the opening night films in the 2016 Sundance Film Festival in January! [UPDATE AS OF 2/24/16: THIS FILM WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR VIEWING VIA NETFLIX SOMETIME THIS FALL.]
I had the fun of playing Cathy Columbo, a woman who inadvertently interrupts a very important family moment. It's a small role but it was a blast, and I can't wait to see this one. Congrats to the cast and crew!
