Working with Route 66 Rodeo (Abduction of Becky Morris, FringeNYC 2012) again on Coyote Katie's Return by Alison Crane, directed by Bradley Campbell Everyone loves a taxidermist. And what's not to love about Roy, a hairy, awkward, possibly psychotic taxidermist living on the fringes of Oklahoma City? Despite his commitment to solitude, he finds an unlikely connection with Ruby, a psychiatric nurse with a checkered romantic past. Their awkward attempt at romance is threatened when Roy’s past staggers onto his doorstep, dragging the truth behind a 30-year-old urban legend along for the ride. This truth leads us into the highly sanitized hands of Dr. Holbrook, an ambitious psychiatrist who wants to seize this discovery to make a difference in the lives of many. A recently deceased cat, a taxidermy menagerie, and a wasted Dorito casserole all present their own complications in this quirky love story of bestial proportions.

this lingering life
Co-producing & acting in This Lingering Life by Chiori Miyagawa, directed by Cat Miller
We all exist in a complex web of relationships, determined by emotions and actions from this life and previous lives. At turns poignant and hilarious, This Lingering Life looks at the human condition through the Buddhist concept of Karma and explores the deep human desire to create meaning out of circumstances and suffering. Taking place in the present time, except when it happens in an ancient era, the play follows the journeys of a woman with tragic hair, feudal warriors, a mother whose son was kidnapped, a blind beggar, dead lovers, a pathetic old man in love with a teenager, a boy whose father is an arrow, and other sentient beings as they seek answers to Life’s biggest questions.
