Have you been involved with the company before? If so, in what capacity? I performed in King Lear and Measure for Measure during Empty Chair's 2009 season: as Regan and a knight in King Lear, and as Escalus and ensemble in Measure for Measure.
What about this project excites you? I'm really interested in theater for social change, and thinking about studying abroad for it. To participate in a project that's going to use theater to create change is really exciting for me!
What pieces are you working on for the show? I will be performing in The Taming of the Shrew as Katarina, in Twelfth Night as Viola, and in Henry VI, Part 1 as Reignier.
Tell us a little about you:
I'm at a tiny school in the middle of some cow pastures right now studying psychology, drama, and cultural anthropology. I've lived most of the rest of my life in Arlington, VA. I took a gap year last year, during which I made a three-month service trip to Ghana. A couple years back, I got the chance to play Sarah in the Keegan Theatre's production of Translations, which received a Helen Hayes Awards nomination for Outstanding Ensemble. My favorite Shakespearean roles have been Lady Macbeth in Macbeth, Hermia in A Midsummer Night's Dream, and Baptista/Alice in The Taming of the Shrew. I attended HB-Woodlawn Secondary Program for high school, where I met Elizabeth. During the summers of those years, I got my ensemble training from Traveling Players Ensemble, a local outdoor theatre camp for teens. I'm excited to be working with Empty Chair once again!
