The Rollercoaster: Coping with the lull.

The Rollercoaster: Coping with the lull.

The career of an actor is like riding a rollercoaster. Well, LIFE is like riding a rollercoaster. Over the past year, I have experienced EXTREME highs and LOW lows. At the end of July 2018, Orange is the New Blackseason 6 was released, and it really helped shift my career to another level. A week before the OITNB premiere, I went to an audition for a play…on the wrong day. I was a week early.…

#LivingtheDream: Reflections on Living an Actor's Life, Being Myself, and Following my Bliss

#LivingtheDream: Reflections on Living an Actor’s Life, Being Myself, and Following my Bliss

I have always wanted to be an actor. Always. I came to the realization that it was an actual profession at the age of 11, after having been acting since the age of 7. I saw kids on TV and wanted to work. I saw character actors who I still admire today guest starring on shows and wanted to work. I didn’t want to wait until I was adult. I knew what I wanted to do.

After I had my surgery to correct…

10 Years Later… #NYC #Career #WorkingActor

10 years ago, my father and I drove to NYC from Massachusetts. The Tom Tom GPS in my father’s car took us to the opposite side of the city, but we eventually made it to the apartment that I sublet-ted for 3 months, unpacked my weird luggage that I managed to fit into about 5 Spacebags within 2 suitcases, and said goodbye. I thought I was only going to be in the city for the duration of the summer…

Why I Tell My Story: Theater & Raising Awareness #disabilityawareness #cerebralpalsy

When I first started writing my solo show, “Walk With Me” about growing up with cerebral palsy and learning to walk again at 13, it wasn’t even a one-woman show. In all honesty, I was avoiding the elephant in the room. I was writing characters who resembled myself and my parents; I was trying to be “creative.” However, as the writing process continued, I began to realize that I had to do this one…

Goals for 2017 Last year, despite what was going on in the country and the world (that's another blog post for another blog and time) I'd say 2016 was a good year professionally for me.

Walk With Me: Coming To Fruition

Walk With Me: Coming To Fruition

I started writing my solo show Walk With Mein 2010 after my father told me, “Write your story.” That was six years ago. Slowly, I have been writing my story, in various different drafts, with various different concepts of what it should be. Over the past six years, I’ve had numerous people interested in directing it, and countless suggestions of where to put it up, who to market it towards, and…

Happy New Year! Happy New Year! 2016 here I come! I got a new calendar, as one does, and the quote for the month of January is "Everything you want is on the other side of fear." Maybe this year it's true because I'm really scared, but I'm jumping head first into audition season.

I had two surgeries to correct my crooked right leg when I was 13. The summer I turned 14 in 1998, I had the second surgery. Also that summer, I saw Live at Lincoln Center for the first time. They performed Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night.  At that point, I had a lot of time on my hands because I was still recovering from the…

I See Myself: The Power of Theater and Working on “Richard III” #Shakespeare #Actor #DisabilityAwareness

Oftentimes when we watch television, a film, or go to the theater, we are made to think. We see representations of various characters, and more than likely, we can see parts of ourselves in them. When you are a differently-abled actor, those opportunities to view an actual portrayal of yourself are few and far between. It goes far beyond the portrayal of a disability. As a differently-abled…
