Part of the radio theater series "The Play’s The Thing," the live performances at the Skirball Cultural Center will be recorded for future radio broadcast.

The actress has played on Broadway in Three Sisters and more recently Off-Broadway in The New Group's Aunt Dan and Lemon and MCC Theatre's The Dead Eye Boy. She was recently reported as being in talks to return to Broadway to star in the upcoming revival of Sam Shepard's Fool for Love.
