MORE ABOUT ME
I imagine telling stories in ALL settings, not only in formal theaters, but ANYWHERE people can sit and listen for at least an hour - that may require microphones for better sound, but other than that technical aspect, I want to be able to bring stories to all communities and spread love, compassion and humor.

WHAT I'M WORKING ON
Currently working on VILLAGE STORIES:  a collage of characters and stories from her Italian ancestry. The piece was presented in multiple workshops produced by Parity Productions and directed by Ludovica Villar-Hauser.  Collaborating with the extraordinary musician, John T. La Barbera, the piece weaves music and storytelling to tell the universal story of how the past informs our present and future. ​

KEYWORDS
