My solo play, Free Desiree, is now available for purchase from Indie Theater Now, which chose it as one of 24 plays for their 2013 New York Fringe Collection. Click on link below to read all about it!

Free Desiree will play at the West of Lenin Theater in Seattle’s Fremont neighborhood on Friday and Saturday, September 6th and 7th at 8:00 p.m. I received a City Artist Grant from the Mayor’s Office of Arts and Cultural Affairs to add a multimedia component to this particular production. I’m very excited about the results! Thanks to the amazing Amy Sedgwick and Marc Newman, for their stellar work on the Pom Pom Baby trailer. Sound intriguing? Then get on down to the West of Lenin. See the show that got rave reviews at the 2013 New York International Fringe Festival.

This New Yorker magazine illustration includes an artist’s rendering of five of the solo shows at the New York Fringe, including mine, Free Desiree! Notice my character Shauna’s pom poms jutting out from the right hand side. Cool!

I am thrilled to announce that my one-woman show, Free Desiree, has been accepted into the New York Fringe Festival this summer! The Festival runs from August 9-25. Stay tuned for exact dates, times and venue location.

Free Desiree will also play at the West of Lenin Theater in Seattle’s Fremont district on September 6 and 7, 2013. I will be unveiling a new multimedia component for this particular show, courtesy of a City Artist Grant I received from the Seattle Mayor’s Office of Arts and Cultural Affairs.
