This month I acted in a short play, Nectarine Girl, as part of The Tanks 7x7: Ladyfest Edition evening of short plays. Each play was written with seven rules in mind and it was all directed and written by women! It was super fun and I absolutely loved the character I got to play - a taciturn, Southern pie maker! It was also really great to get to work with some awesome folks- written by Ying Ying Li, directed by Jessica O'Hara Baker! |
