So excited to be a panelist on the public radio show "Says You!" on Sunday, Feb 18!  I LOVE games, and word games especially. Here's the description from the show's website: "Take one word, add two teams, create three definitions and throw in a live audience. And, that’s Says You! – the last word in radio quiz shows since 1996. If you could play badminton with words, it would sound much like Says You!"

Count. Me. In.

And if you're not sure if you're local station carries "Says You" then check here. OR you can always just listen to the podcast after we air, which will be available via iTunes, Google Play, or via the Says You! app. (I'll post a link here once it is uploaded.)

Wish me luck! I plan to sleep on my dictionary the night before so that I'll be prepared. I am quite sure that will yield excellent results.

Met so many wonderful, talented, generous actors and actresses while in New York and casting for the world premiere of "Miss Keller Has No Second Book." It was a fast trip made easy by the amazing casting director Michael Cassara and his team. Looking forward to getting into rehearsals in early March at Gulfshore Playhouse in Naples, FL, with our opening night set for March 31. Thanks to all who auditioned for us!

In just 60 seconds, you can hear me get all commercially and voicey. This great demo was produced by the wondrous Ed Cunningham at Ed's ChopShop, and it was a blast to work on with him! Please take a listen if you have literally 60 seconds to spare and share (and you know you do):

Wishing everyone an energetic and magical new year! Dreams do come true...

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.
