After a successful run as C. S. Lewis in Beacon Theatre Productions’ Freud’s Last session, I returned to Beacon in their next production of “Red Letter Locker” as author Arthur Conan Doyle. The story follows a high school student attempting to solve a mystery when Arthur Conan Doyle arrives after using H. G. Wells’ time machine. Using the powers of logic and deduction he helps our young protagonist attempt to prove her innocence. For more about The Red Letter Locker, click here!

Freud’s Last Session with Beacon Theatre Productions
In 2018, I was cast as C. S. Lewis in Beacon Theatre Productions‘ “Freud’s Last Session.” During this production, I worked with a vocal coach to perform my role with a British accent. At the time, this 2 person, 70+ minute show was the most challenging role I had ever attempted. I was thrilled to work with such a wonderful cast and crew under the direction of Georgina Bard.
This fantastic 2 person play seems very poignant in today’s political atmosphere. Lewis and Freud take on some of history’s toughest questions as they debate the role of religion in government and the morality surrounding war. This play is being made into a movie this year, though I believe they are not sticking to the 2 person format. To grab a copy of Freud’s Last Session, go here.

The Dumpsta Players
From 2004 until 2016, I was a member of the Dumpsta Players, a Philadelphia based drag and performance art group. We performed original 30-45 scripted shows using pop songs as the musical numbers to tell a unique queer story on a monthly or bi-monthly basis. This is where I created my character, Amanda Playwythe. It was a name I chose last minute before taking the stage in the annual Prom Trash competition, the search for the trashiest prom queen! Over the course of my time as a member of the Dumspta Players I went on to win this competition more than anyone else in the history of the event! For more info and pics of the Dumpsta Players go here!
Check out this playlist to see sample of my work with the Dumpsta Players as well as some of my favorite pictures. I’ve collected these over the years on multiple devices so I may have lost track of who took certain pictures. Please contact me and I’ll make sure to give credit where needed.
