Working for Crumbs LIVES!

 February 2020, I had a dream.  

I had this play called BureauCRAZY, which I had written to showcase the funniest women I knew, and it was getting raves wherever it took the stage.  It got a a world premiere up at Grande Prairie Live in Canada!  It had readings at the Women's Theatre Festival in North Carolina!  It had a reading at the Lyric Theatre of Oklahoma with Ignition Arts!  It had a place of honor at the Page to Stage Project LaFemme festival and was licensed on the spot for TWO productions.

And I thought, "Self?  You've been training in Broadway producing...  I wonder what would happen if I took this show to New York..."  So, I did!  I flew out friends from Los Angeles and joined with friends in New York and we put on a reading...

And after a lunch at Sardi's with some producers (who would soon become fast friends), things were in the works to return in just a few short weeks to put on a backer's audition (that's where folks show up with their checkbooks)...

And a week later, the world closed.
When we talk about what Covid stole from us, this was it for me.
But from the oatmeal raisin cookie crumbs, the phoenix rises.  For BureauCRAZY has been renamed Working for Crumbs, and IT LIVES!!
Vashon Repertory Theatre has opened their heart and their home to my little play.  They paired me up with an incredible director named Christopher Kehoe, who happens to have an MFA in physical theatre from Dell'Arte International School of Physical Theatre (which, if you ever caught Working for Crumbs is ALL about the physical comedy.)  I mean... this is like a dream come true!!  

If you're around the Seattle area on May 16 at 7:00 PM, hop on that ferry to Vashon Island and head on over to Vashon Repertory Theatre for a reading of Working for Crumbs!  Tickets are $10 and it should be a ton of fun!  I'll be there!
