KOALLABY’S PLAYING A SHOW AND YOU’RE INVITED!

One of the musical projects I’m a part of ✨KOALLABY✨ is throwing a show at Framework Saturday, Jan 10th! We have the very cool Brites joining us on the bill, and a very, very special guest Sudie flying in all the way from ATLANTA to grace us with their musical artistry. I have known Sudie since 2009 and we haven’t played a show together in far too long. I personally guarantee your socks will be blown off. (Peep these photos of us from 10ish years ago 😭)

There is a $10 suggested donation, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds. Come hang out!!!! Doors open 7:30pm with music starting at 8pm. BYOB!!!! Flyer by me!!!!

I have spent the last two months crafting this magical, tragic — (dare I say TRAGICAL?) — absurd, sinister, and delightful piece of theatre with the best group of people at Shaking the Tree. My flabber do be gasted by the sheer amount of trust present in the room to not shy away from achieving our wildest dreams, to dare to try (and sometimes fail), and to see just exactly what we can get away with. Feeling safe enough to play and fully explore is a huge testament to the team of people involved, all of whom I love and respect dearly. It has been a beautiful process and I think we dance between macabre and charming quite well.

The magic within this show does not fully activate without you, our audience. You are essential. What you, individually, bring into the space has a profound effect on Briana and I, which is the most electrifying thing about live theatre. What you believe is tantamount to what is the truth of this story. I am so proud of our work and I really, truly, wholly hope you are able to join us for a performance.

The Brother and the Bird runs throughout May 18th. Ticket link is in my bio.

I just sent off a big, scary audition. I don’t think I’ve ever wanted something as badly as this one…🤮🤢🫠🫨🤧🤕 Don’t ask me about it, because I won’t tell you. Lol. I’m out of my comfort zone already just admitting that I want something badly.

Thanks to Rob for always doing the absolute most for me last minute.

Blood Wedding by Federico García Lorca at Shaking The Tree Theatre. We run until November 11th. Tickets are going faster than my super ability to eat an entire wheel of vegan cheese in record time. Faster than Rasmus is to christen the litter box mere moments after I clean it. Faster than a knife fight in a phone booth. Faster than a person can clutch their pearls when they see a monkey riding an alligator. Faster than a bad batch of spoiled curry can go right through you. Faster than it took you to read this entire thing.
