Manahatta: A dream come true

6/1/2014

 
It was an afternoon in March when I received an email from a casting director of The Public Theater with a subject line that read: "Offer for the role of Jane/Le-le-wa'you".

That's an actor's dream come true (or mine, anyways) -- to A) just get offered a role without having to audition for it and B) that it was for a place like The Public Theater. At this point in my career, even though I've only  been working in New York for a few years, I'm already getting to the point where a good chunk of my theatre roles have been right out offered to me and I haven't had to audition for them. The Public Theater is also on my "bucket list" of theatres to work at so that was huge for me. It's the most prestigious Off Broadway theatre in New York and to get cast in a production at the Public was a huge accomplishment especially this early in my career.

Native Hoop Magazine interview

4/30/2014

 
I did an interview with Yvonne Dennis of Native Hoop Magazine. She told me the owner James Morales is a big fan of mine and has wanted to have me in the magazine for a long time so Yvonne came to a performance 'Miss Lead' and we chatted after. I am honoured to be part of this magazine! You can read the full interview here on pages 2, 6 & 7.



Manahatta casting announced!

4/12/2014

 
I am thrilled to be soon calling The Public Theater home, finally working with Kimberly Guerrero, returning to the stage with Brandon Oakes and bringing to life another brilliant piece by Mary Kathryn Nagle! We run May 15-25 and are one of two plays in the Public Studio's inaugural year. This is such a dream come true--The Public Theater is the biggest Off Broadway theater in New York City and has been on my 'bucket list' of theaters to work at. I'm only three years out of grad school and I already accomplished it! I am proud and honoured to be a part of telling this incredibly important story about the very land we live on in Manhattan.

A very difficult but powerful day

1/17/2014

 
Leo Parenteau July 20/29-Jan. 9/14
Mistahimaskwa c1825-Jan. 17, 1888


Today is a powerful day. I am honored to be performing tonight in front of members of the Quapaw tribe who are coming all the way from Oklahoma to see our show; I have close family arriving today who are making the trek all the way from Alberta & Montana; I spoke to my Auntie Margaret on the phone; and it is the anniversary of the death of Mistahimaskwa, aka Chief Big Bear, who was instrumental in shaping the history of my people up north. Tonight I will step on that stage with the spirit of two great warriors in my heart—Uncle Leo and Big Bear.
