HEY SHUGA!

It has been a year and a half since I have made a post here…. much has happened since then!   I finished a graduate degree in TESOL from Hunter College, I played parts on the TV shows Eye Candy, Nurse Jackie, Daredevil, What Would You Do and Younger as well as the indie film The 3 Metamorphoses.  I also went to San Antonio to play Mag (the mother) in The Beauty Queen of Leenane  and then, months later, received an award for best supporting actress from The Alamo Theater Collective!  I also received the Making Books Sing Family of Artist Award for my work as a Teaching Artist.  I also continued to do improv, playing on the The Captain’s Hat, Faceplant and Cakepop at the PIT.

March 2016 – Mag in The Beauty Queen of Leenane 

6/30/13  – I went to China for 2 weeks to shoot a Chinese TV show.  I played Minnie Vautrin – a true hero who  helped save thousands during the Japanese invasion of China in 1937.

6/17/13   Shot a great little part on HOUSE OF CARDS – my favorite show!  Such a great experience, but I forgot to take photos!  I will be in Season 2, ep. 3 –  I play Senator Cornwall.

June 2 2013    I played the lead in a 48 Hour film festival short called THE FLORIST by Ituri Sosa.   It came out great!  Ituri did a great job – and I got to act with the bad kid from Billy the Kid.

5/18/13   Shot a short film for a few days called THE RECIPIENT.    I had an “affair’ with a young guy (who  reminded me of  Leonardo DiCaprio!)

5/2/13   I shot a series of educational industrials for Pearson.  I tell facts and lead discussions about Texas government and politics.

4/27 /13 –  Went upstate to shoot THE UNREMEMBERED by Chris Knight for a few days.  Great indie short.  Can’t wait to see the finished product!

2/13   Shot a role on “The Americans” .  Someone said that I reminded them of Nancy Reagan in this outfit

2/13    I got on a 10,000 hours improv team at the PIT.  We perform one or two Sundays a month and rehearse weekly.

Jan/13  to April – I just shot a few indie shorts and student films over the last few months but haven’t been updating the site.  Here are some of the names: LUCY AND THE STARS an NYU short directed by Gwynna Forgham .      YELLOW BRICK HELL a webisode by Rob Assaro.  THE NEW NEW YORKER short film by Amy Ma.  And I did  a few other NYU films:  DROP DEAD DOG, MONICA WADE
