🎭 🎬 I’m an award-winning actor and playwright, and I've been a working actor in NYC for over 40 years. You may have seen me on Law & Order, Saturday Night Live, or riding the C train. I've performed on and off Broadway and in Oliver Stone's Wall Street, Law & Order, Saturday Night Live, Rachael Getting Married, Too Big to Fail, Braid, The Looming Tower, Succession, Things Heard & Seen, and FBI. My plays Collateral Damage and Whistleblower were semi-finalists in the Eugene O'Neill National Playwrights Conference. I've written and performed three solo plays, including Lizzie BordenLive!, commissioned by the East Lynne Theater Company, where I won the JACOBY AWARD for my performance. I did stand-up comedy for 4 1/2 years and won the MARY JO COMEDY SHOW AWARD '94 for best female newcomer, NYC. My essays have been published in literary journals. I currently reside in New York City.
