Such a small world working with this gem of a human @zander_raphael who performed when I was producing @thebacchanalla years ago (which I’ve been thinking about bringing back…stay tuned). There is so much sadness and loss and destruction right now that it’s difficult to stay “positive”. But I am so grateful to be in a community of people that are harbingers of joy, art and beauty. To my fellow theater people, burlesque community, raver/electronic music DJ and dance community, actors, dancers, musicians, artists, enthusiasts…basically everyone who comes together to create rather than destroy. I love you and wouldn’t be able to get through this rough patch without all of you. I’m not in this show, but it’s fantastic, especially if you’re a fan of iconic 80s music and movies. Tonight’s opening night for Teen Beat Live: 80s Movie Mixtape at the absolutely stunning and gorgeous @thecinevita #spiegeltent and I have two guest list tix if you wanna hit me up. Not only is the space stunning, but the performers are all top notch. Get nostalgic and have fun ‘cause politically we may as well be in the 80s anyways. 😆😭😆😭😆😭 #80s #nostalgia #theater #totallyTubular

What’s scarier - the severed monkey’s paw or the unhinged-looking dummy? Either way, you get one more chance to watch each this weekend. Check out La Mano del Mono and Gilded Spindle! /projects/12992 #30MinutesFestival #LaManoDelMono #GildedSpindle #ThrillsAndChills #ChildInDanger

Shannon, Zander, and I all handle creepy objects in our shows. In Gilded Spindle, the puppet is the Rumpelstiltskin of folklore, who wants to take the protagonist’s child as compensation for spinning straw into gold. In La Mano Del Mono, the monkey’s paw…is actually a good thing. It allows the main characters to wish for $20,000. No way that could end up harming the protagonist’s child…right? 😳 /projects/12992 #30MinutesFestival #LaManoDelMono #GildedSpindle #ThrillsAndChills #ChildInDanger

It’s been a thrill to sink my hands back into the art of puppetry! 🤹‍♀️🪉🎭 This month I’ve been performing in an adult 30 minute adaptation of Rumpelstiltskin called Gilded Spindle. The play has a wonderful cast of five: 4 humans and then me voicing & puppeteering Rumpelstiltskin! (A terrific full-body puppet designed by @wyndwolfpuppets who also wrote & directed the show! 😍) “With a love for creature acting, puppetry and the macabre, portraying the joyfully wicked fae Rumpelstiltskin has been a thrill! I disappear inside him to explore power, pleasure and mischief ~ inviting the audience to laugh, squirm and lean closer to the danger…” ⚠️😈🧌 We have 2 performances left: Weds 1/21 & Sun 1/25 Our play is part of @30minutesorlessfestival this month happening @sfstheatrela There are so many fantastic shows performing this weekend & next week Weds thru Sun 🎭🎉 Hope to see you at the show &/or around the fest! 😊 🎟️ /projects/13000
