Back in October (right around Halloween, which is apropos if you get a chance to watch...) I got to spend a few days on set with the fine folks of NBC's Chicago PD. I play a fun, technical role at the beginning of Season 5 Episode 10, which aired earlier this month and is now available for streaming on the NBC website. Thanks to Gray Talent, Simon Casting and director Carl Seaton for such a fun opportunity!
Summer 2017 has been a busy one! I can't believe I have only one week left playing Marian in Marriott Theatre of Lincolnshire's incredible production of THE BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY. I love sharing the stage with Nate Stampley, Kathy Voytko, Bart Shatto, Wydetta Carter, and the rest of our incredibIe company - and they're all pretty great people offstage too.
Here's a short clip of my song from the show:
Catch us through August 13 (only 8 shows left!) at the Marriott Theatre in Lincolnshire!!
October through December of 2016, I had the great fortune to play the title role in a world premiere play, MISS BENNET: CHRISTMAS AT PEMBERLEY, at Northlight Theatre; it was an incredibly rewarding experience all around. Doing this play at Northlight with such a fantastic cast, under Jessica Thebus's direction, reinforced my love for collaboration in bringing new work to life. And those little tiny curls were fun to wrangle each night. :)
Next up in January (I did double duty for a whole week!) was THE HUNDRED DRESSES at Chicago Children's Theatre! This was a fun one because I got to sing AND play instruments - piano, guitar, ukulele, and mandolin to be precise. It was also my first time performing for kids, and I'll never forget the energy and openness with which they received our anti-bullying, pro-immigrant message.
Now auditioning for next season and looking forward to one more exciting gig between now and then: more news soon!
So excited to officially announce my summer gig--returning to the role of Lucy Steele in SENSE AND SENSIBILITY! We're doing the show on the West Coast this time, at the beautiful Old Globe Theater, and can't wait to share it with a new audience.
See the official press release here!
Lucy loves California Sunshine!
