Hey! I’m an actor based in NYC.
But I was born outside Chicago (Skokie) and grew up in the Maryland suburbs, where my first heroes were the brilliant resident company actors in the ‘80s and ‘90s DC theatre scene (Woolly Mammoth, Arena, Studio Theatre).
I love working on new plays. I made my Broadway debut in Coram Boy, and I’ve originated leading roles in many world premieres — including Bathsheba Doran’s acclaimed Kin (Playwrights Horizons, dir. Sam Gold), for which I was nominated for both Lortel and Drama League Awards, David Adjmi’s Stunning (Woolly Mammoth, dir. Anne Kauffman), Liz Meriwether’s The Mistakes Madeline Made (Naked Angels, dir. Evan Cabnet), “Eurydice” in the premiere of Sarah Ruhl’s Eurydice (Madison Rep, dir. Richard Corley), Karen Hartman’s Good Faith (Yale Rep, dir. Kenny Leon), Jordan Harrison’s Doris to Darlene (Playwrights Horizons, dir. Les Waters), Anna Ziegler’s BFF (WET, dir. Josh Hecht), and Mark Schultz’s Everything Will Be Different (Soho Rep, dir. Daniel Aukin). Also world premieres by the brilliant Marlane Meyer, Michael Golamco, Julia Cho, Tina Howe, Emily Mann, Keith Reddin, Greg Kotis, Quincy Long, and Francine Volpe, at Playwrights Horizons, The Geffen, Williamstown, McCarter, South Coast Rep, Humana Festival, Clubbed Thumb, and others.
TV work includes playing a woman having a VERY bad pregnancy on the season 1 finale of Evil; Chicago Med; The Americans; Elementary; Madam Secretary; The Middle (recurring); Grey’s Anatomy; Numb3rs; The Defenders; Ugly Betty; and several iterations of Law & Order — and the films: We Go On, As Good As You, Cold Souls, Coach, YellowBrickRoad, and The Harbinger.
I also love road trips, vegan food, coffee all hours of the day, activism on behalf of LGBTQIA+ youth, and hanging with my husband, filmmaker/composer Andy Mitton, our kids Naomi and Asa, and two super high-strung cats named Skid and Jerry.
