Support Amazing Art with 2Cents Theatre!

2Cents Theatre is committed to changing hearts with art, but they need your help. They're trying to raise money for this month's Acting Out INK Fest, their incredible play festival showcasing female-identifying and non-binary playwrights. I've been lucky enough to have three of my plays performed during INK Fest, and being involved with this theatre company has changed my life. Having my plays performed by 2Cents Theatre inspired me to write my web series and eventually move to L.A., and I can't imagine my life without these kind, supportive, all-around awesome people.

If you'd like to support the arts and help out this amazing theatre company, please make a donation through Venmo or PayPal:

Venmo: @donations_2cents

You can find out more about 2Cents Theatre here, and if you live in L.A., check out INK Fest from March 27th-29th.

Thanks so much! 🙂💙

ScareLA

I moved to L.A. on August 2nd, and it's no coincidence that my move happened a few days before ScareLA, an awesome convention celebrating all things Halloween. There was so much to do there that I didn't get a chance to see as much as I would've liked, but I did get to check out all the vendors, attend the "Monstrous Spirits: Haunted LA vs. Haunted OC" podcast, see my favorite theatre group, 2Cents Theatre, perform scenes from Nilbog the Musical, and try to avoid dozens of creepy clowns. I took a ton of pictures, so feel free to live vicariously through me if you didn't get to go. ; )

Nope.

Triple nope.

ScareLA's announcements were made by a familiar voice: John Kassir, the voice of  The Cryptkeeper.

Well, this is creepy...

ScareLA was so much fun, and it was the perfect way to spend my first weekend as an L.A. resident. I can't wait to go again next year! : )

Going to Hollywood

I'm taking a short break from the blog so I can go to L.A. for a few days to take part in a celebration of female playwrights. My short play "Playing Doctor" is being performed at the Hudson Theatre in Hollywood as part of 2Cents Theatre's Acting Out INK Fest...it's about Zeus trying to get a job as an OB/GYN, and if you're in L.A., you can see it March 17th at 6:30 p.m. or March 18th at 3:30 p.m. I was lucky enough to be a part of this event in 2014, and I'm so excited to be included again this year! : ) If you want day, weekend, or VIP passes, you can buy tickets here:

Or if you just want to see my play (and the three others in that block), you can buy them thirty minutes before showtime at the Hudson Theatre (6539 Santa Monica Blvd.).
