a waltz with Chekhov

Our Cherry Orchard has opened up at Everyman Theatre in Baltimore! We had a wonderful opening night on Friday, lots of love from family, friends and loyal subscribers. It’s been a wonderful process so far. A real acting challenge for me as it is my first Chehkov and I’ve had the chance to discover and play with all the depth and possibility in his beautiful writing. Anya is a delightful character, full of optimism and hope, but also complex in her sensitivity to her family and past.

Our company, including several long-time Everyman company members, has grown to be a cohesive and responsive ensemble. I have great faith and trust in my fellow actors and am eager to see how the show will grow now that we are confident in the production and have the chace to play within the moments.

It is a haul driving to and from Baltimore every day, but luckily I’ve been carpooling with other DC actors in the show and we make it fun. Please do see the show if you have the chance. I think we have a funny, tragic and insightful production of a beautiful play to share and I hope to share it with you. Not only is the show poignant as our own gorgeous cherry trees bloom around the tidal basin, but also as friends and strangers deal with the loss of property and change in lifestyle.
