Pilgrimage
Burrowing Artists
My Pandemic actor activity included being a part of Burrowing Artists Vol. 2 (@burrowing.artists). Burrowing Artists is a project started by NYC based playwright Taylor Steele which connects playwrights and actors. Each playwright and actor collaborate on making a monologue that inspires each of them. I was lucky enough to be paired with the extremely talented Molly Rose Heller. I immediately felt a connection with her, as we were both Californian, Jewish, Theatre Makers.
For this project, I wanted to explore queerness and judaism. I have never been able to represent my queerness in a theatrical context before. This piece is very close to home, and I feel it is a very good representation of who I am as an artist in this moment. Go to the "Acting" tab of my videos to view!
(Also, surprise, I have pink hair now)

So thrilled to be lending my voice to another musical production involving Justin Gates (see below with The Place Between)!
