Catch me onstage in 2019/2020

After years of focusing on filmmaking (though that’s still a thing too) I’m thrilled to be heading back to the stage this season! From a bayside show in Bradenton to a classic Fosse-style production and a new musical with a premiere West Coast theatre company, keep reading for details on where you can catch me onstage not once, not twice, not three times, but four golden opportunities ;)!

Enjoy the magic of the season

I’m heading back to the Crosley Estate for A Classic Crosley Christmas with the Powel Crosley Theatre! This will be my fourth year enjoying classic caroling under the stars and the art of Santa-inspired storytelling alongside some of my favorite actors.

“The magic of the season brings kindness and light to Bradenton. For one enchanting evening, three generations of believers find their way to the Crosley Mansion. Join Gwendolyn and Powel Crosley for a riotous retelling of the Charles Dicken’s Classic, A Christmas Carol, take a trip down memory lane for Music Most Merry with the Mistletones as they weave together traditions from around the world and Classic Christmas songs from the 1950s, and hop aboard the Polar Express as Christopher and Agnes share this heartfelt story for the young and the young at heart.”

December 12, 17-18, 7:30 PM
December 13-15, 19-22, 2:00 PM & 7:30 PM

Tickets available at Manatee Performing Arts Center website.

 


Improv in a musical manner

For one night only, I’ll be performing onstage at Florida Studio Theatre in When X Meets Y, Home for the Holidays. This is a fully improvised musical with songs never heard (or sung) before. It’s a lovely night of laughs so join us for something fun and different!

Whatever Lola wants

In the new year, I’ll be returning to the Manatee Performing Arts Center to star as Lola in Damn Yankees! This is a singing and dancing show with Fosse-style choreography that is sure to kick my musical theatre behind…and I’m looking forward to it!

“The Broadway mega-hit and winner of seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical, hits it out of the park! The winning score by Adler and Ross and a devilish book by George Abbot have made this sporty musical comedy a true American classic.”

February 20-March 8, 2020

Tickets available at Manatee Performing Arts Center website

 


A true story takes the stage

Then, following a number of readings and special productions (including a fully-staged production of the play, No Exit) I’m thrilled to be making my debut in the mainstage season at Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe!

Several months ago, I participated in a workshop of the musical, Ruby. Well, it’s premiering in April and I’m excited to be part of the team bringing this true story to life. Tickets are already selling out!

April 15 – May 24, 2020

Tickets are available at the Westcoast Black Theatre website.

 

Well, that’s it…I’m so honored to be participating in a full season of shows and storytelling. Please reach out and let me know in advance if you are coming to something. Otherwise, I’ll see you at the stage door!
