PictureQueen Aggravain, Once Upon a Mattress, 2006
I've always loved the theater, especially acting and singing on stage before an audience.  My rock-star dream competed with my love of acting in my late teens and just into my twenties, but the combination of vocal nodules, a love of writing, and the desire to go to graduate school in creative writing or literary studies ended my years as a vocalist with rock bands and led to a putting my love of acting on the back-burner as well. Nonetheless, between ages 14 and 50, I've been privileged and proud to be part of dozens of amateur dramatic, comedy, and musical productions. 

Below is a selected acting resume, some video clips, and a somewhat random slideshow of photos from various productions.
