Me and You and Miranda July and the Criterion Collection

Many years ago, I had three small scenes in Miranda July’s first film, Me and You and Everyone We Know. A film which was just added to the Criterion Collection! So major! 

It’s a truly special movie which I've always felt proud to have appeared in, and I was delighted to find my face included on this new poster full of faces.

With this compassionate, startling comedy that could have come from no other artistic sensibility, the brilliant Miranda July reveals a world both familiar and strange—an original vision of creativity, sexuality, childhood, and loneliness through a series of braided vignettes around a pair of pote...

Reely? Part 1

Here is my new theatrical acting reel.  Here is my new commercial acting reel.

Tide Pods and Time Capsules

Every once in a while, a commercial I'm in will play on TV all year long, and it's really nice when that happens.  But then sometimes, the other actress in the commercial is someone I've been making theater with for the past 15 years, and you know what?  That is even nicer than all those steady residual checks.

Well, okay.  It's also nice.  In a different way.

Check out the hilarious Alex Hoover (and I) in this commercial, and see all those years on the stage filtered down into one 30 second joke to sell detergent.

Making Theater @ Boston Court

I am buzzing with excitement as we head into tech week for my latest adventure on the stage:  the world premiere of Everything You Touch by one of my favorite playwrights, Sheila Callaghan.  A hilarious and challenging work, it tackles body image, artistic identity, and forgiveness with all the ferocious abandon of a supermodel charging down the runway.  You'll love it.  We start previews on April 3rd and open April 12th.  Get your tickets here!

Laides In Waiting

Kerry Carney and I created this web show called Ladies In Waiting.  In it, we play Kimmie and Ari, best friends and lovable lushes who are aging out of the only job they've ever been able to keep, dressing as Disney-style princesses at parties for the over privileged children of Los Angeles.  Lucky for them, they are too drunk to notice.

We have filmed three episodes.  Please watch and enjoy the adventures of what will soon become your favorite new comedy duo.  That sounds like I'm tooting my own horn, but really, I think of it as tooting Kerry's horn, because that's what co-dependency is all about, dammit.  Also, if you are a fancy producer or show runner who secretly follows my career news blog, a) why haven't I heard from you before now? and b) here's your big chance.  We have expanded the web series into a treatment and first season outline for a half hour single camera comedy.  I look forward to your call.

Blog on Blog Action 6

The sound of my own voice makes me want to crawl under a large object and die alone.  However, David Newhoff has a great voice, and on his blog, The Illusion of More, he addresses with real insight all the stuff that comes up for those of us who participate in the digital culture.  Which is, you know, all of us.  He interviewed me about my perspective on these things, and you can listen to our chat here.

Foster & Jacobs

Tony Foster and Doug Jacobs are two great Los Angeles playwrights, and great friends, and I have helped to produce a night of their shorter work.  I'm also acting in one of the plays and directing a couple others.  The night is funny and fast and nostalgic and raunchy.  Need one more reason to come?  Watch the promo video I filmed in my bathroom. 

Cory the Editor

If you caught my turn as an editor on the HBO show The Newsroom, you may have noticed I was actually operating that Avid.  I learned two whole keyboard shortcuts.  Method acting.

Yay Cloud

I've been spending a lot of time in the airport lately.

My Website is Live! (Yup, "Live". Because if you're going to have a website, you should use the lingo.)
