Friend What Are You Waiting For?
I will be performing in the new musical comedy WE HAVE APPLES as the Nurse January 18th 7 pm 47th Street Theater! It’s a 10-minute showcase that will be sure to please. Hope you can make it!
Jane, a quirky 18-year-old writer, has no choice but to admit herself to a psychiatric hospital when her depression (personified by a female actor) becomes more than she can handle on her own. Bored with the cheesy and condescending group sessions, Jane and another talented patient, Jack, start a writing group. Tension heightens between staff and patients and corruption and mistreatment in the ward start to make everyone wonder: who is really sane here after all?
Music, lyrics, and book by Rachel Ford Griffin
Directed by Branden Huldeen

A Cappella Love
A Cappella Love, performed by eight triple-threat singers-actors-dancers (four men, four women) without instrumental accompaniment, is a new musical that, through song, dance, and comedy, explores the universal experiences of falling in, being in, and stumbling out of – what else? – love. The romance! The passion! The brazen innuendo…all a cappella!
