I’m spending the first part of June filming Bart Freundlich‘s After The Wedding with Michelle Williams and Julianne Moore. The set has been extremely friendly, professional and comfortable. I feel so lucky to be having so much fun while working alongside such a talented team. And I’m shooting during my birthday so it’s a perfect time to hit a milestone. The path forward feels clearer than ever!
During the latter part of June I’m spending some time at the Dorset Theatre Festival working on Kate Cortesi’s Is Edward Snowden Single? with Pirronne Yousefzadeh. I’ve been developing this two-hander with Kate for a while and so I’m excited to take some time away to really dig into the fabric of this smart and devastating play.
In July I’m headed to the Cape Cod Theatre Project to work with Laura Jacqmin on End Of Message. I’m so excited to work with her again! For me, a lot of her work is about the complexity of being a woman in the workplace and/or in a relationship. She’s also just really great at character and dialogue, so every time I work on one of her plays I get to work with incredible actors who are totally game to chew up her language and ideas.
After that I’ll go to New York Stage And Film to work on a new musical created by Molly Beach Murphy, Jeanna Phillips and Annie Tippe titled Cowboy Bob. I don’t know any of the creative team for this fun new piece, but we’ve got lots of familiars in common so I’m excited to take this journey with them. More soon!
