MORE ABOUT ME
As a former black sheep telling my side of the story is gratifying. I feel most myself when, after a performance of Runaway Princess, audience members approach me with their their secrets. "I worked in a brothel, I am in the life, I drank when I was pregnant, My baby was taken away, I am a battered woman." It is an honor.
