Had a great time shooting a scene with Larry David for "Curb Your Enthusiasm!" Episode 6 of season 9 airs this Sunday November 5 at 10 pm on HBO. I played a Gate Agent who is just trying her best to do her job. Such fun improv-ing this scene and working with the lovely and generous Mr. David.
Here's the teaser for the episode:
At the airport Larry loses it over FDA regulations. Marty (Bob Einstein) and Larry agree that finding someone to sleep with at their age is difficult. New episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm Season 9, Sundays at 10 PM, only on HBO. Starring Larry David, Cheryl Hines, Jeff Garlin and J.B.
I'm grateful my play "The Super Variety Match Bonus Round!" is recognized today by StageSceneLA:
Thank you John P. Flynn and Cameron for giving my play the wonderful opportunity of being born, and thank you Steven Stanley for the support. Really truly grateful.
Can't wait to see Brie Larson's directorial debut film "Unicorn Store," which will be premiering at the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival! I shot a really fun scene for this unique and wonderful film, and I'm happy to report that Brie Larson is efficient, smart, generous, and kind -- both as director and actor. Excited to see the final result! It's a great script by Samantha McIntyre. Here's an interview with Brie for Variety.
LOOK FOR THE LIBRARIAN.
Nope. Definitely not crazy.
Join me for the 2017 Playwrights Union "First Peek" Reading Series and hear the first draft reading of my new play, "The Escape Thingy." Sunday June 11 at 4:30 p.m. at VS. Theatre, 5453 W. Pico Blvd in Los Angeles. Free tickets available at the door and online here.
Featuring the amazing acting talents of Ben Atkinson, Kyla Garcia, Victoria Ortiz, Penny Peyser, Mark L. Taylor, and Lizzie Zerebko, this play is what happens when two very different couples meet in an Escape Room, each needing different types of escape. The clock is literally ticking as they attempt to solve the puzzles, navigate alternative facts, and weigh the risks of returning to the world outside.
I think it's a comedy. But I'll keep you posted (or come see for yourself!). Here's my motley crew at rehearsal (except for Kyla, who is off somewhere smiling just as hard as everyone else in the cast):
