See Me Play a Hot Mess in "The Drunken City!"

I’ll be playing Melissa in “The Drunken City” by Adam Bock! This will not only be my first live theatrical performance since before the pandemic (apart from some Zoom readings), but also my first-ever show in Los Angeles!

But don’t worry, even if you’re not in Los Angeles, you can still watch the show via Livestream from the comfort of your couch, or back porch, or van, or wherever you happen to be with WiFi!

What’s It About?

The plot of “The Drunken City” concerns a bachelorette party gone horribly wrong thanks to alcohol and some questionable choices. A bit like “Bridesmaids” meets “The Hangover” if it were directed by David Lynch, the show brings some wonderfully surreal, absurd, and introspective moments to the rom-com genre.

Who Am I Playing?

My character, Melissa, is recovering from the devastation of being cheated on by her fiancé. Unlike similar characters I’ve played, Melissa decides not to become a vengeful ghost and haunt his bathtub, and instead dedicates herself to helping plan the upcoming wedding of her friends, Marnie and Gary. Despite Gary being an old flame of hers, she ships the two of them hardcore, and completely loses it when something happens that threatens their impending nuptials.

Will she attack anyone with katanas I Never Trilogy-style? You’ll have to see the show to find out!

And in case ya missed it, here’s the ticket link! Hope you can check it out!
