I'm happy to announce that I've been cast as Grete in Sight Unseen at The Lounge Theatre in Los Angeles. The play, written by Pulitzer Prize winning playwright Donald Margulies, follows Jonathan Waxman, a successful Jewish-American painter, as he revisits his past by reconnecting with a former lover and muse. 

My character, Grete, is a determined young German journalist with information that could potentially ruin Waxman's career. The role of Grete was played by Laura Linney at the Orpheum Theatre in New York in the early nineties. 

I'm really excited to be working with director Nicole Dominguez and the great little cast and crew that she has assembled. Even after only three rehearsals, I can see that it is shaping up to become something special.

Previews begin on Thursday, March 12th and we open on Saturday, March 14th. The play will run until April 26th. Tickets are available here.
