Hey everyone! Had a terrific time performing 9 Parts of Desire by Heather Raffo. at the Lillian Theatre in Hollywood. The talkback following the show with Ron Canada, Prof. A. Marco Turk, Dr. Hamoud Sahil was stimulating, informative and passionate. I was honored to have been asked to perform the play again,
On another subject, I am proud to say that my production of Oedipus the King won a Drammy award in Portland for Outstanding Actor in a Supporting Role: Michael Lopez! Congratulations to Michael and thanks to the Drammy committee for the recognition for this special production!

I am thrilled that I have been invited to perform 9 Parts of Desire at the Lillian Theatre in LA on Sunday, June 19th at 7 pm and on Wed., June 22 at 8pm. Tickets are only $10 at the door so if you missed it the last time I was here, try to make it to one of these nights! Check for details on the 9 Parts of Desire page!
This event is extra special because after the play on both nights, I will be joined by my dear friend and colleague: actor and former Emmy award winning journalist, Ron Canada who will moderate a talkback with several specialists on the Middle East. Joining us is Professor Marco Turk, Professor Emeritus of Negotiation, Conflict Resolution and Peacebuilding California State University Dominguez Hills and Dr. Hamoud Salhi, Assistant Professor of Political Science, California State University, Dominguez Hills. There may be a few more other guests on the panel, schedule permitting and I am very honored and eager to hear what they have to say. With events daily unfolding in the region, this play, told from the women's perspective offers an opportunity for all of us to examine our feelings about these issues. It promises to be a wonderful evening of theatre and discussion!
