Last year, as we recovered from the hurricane, I wasn't great at celebrating the work that I did. I'd like to make up for that now. Last January, I directed John Proctor is the Villain by Kimberly Bellflower at USC Upstate. It is one of my favorite new plays!

I’m so excited to be back at Centre Stage this time onstage. Is the first major role I performed since the girls were born. It’s always great to get back to my first love, acting, especially with this wonderful team.
