Current Projects

My work as an actor has afforded me an opportunity to play many different woman both fictional and non fictional. I am interested now in exploring the way Jewish women have been portrayed in theater, film, and literature. The  voices out there that  have shaped how Jewish women are viewed by others and view themselves. My goal is to create a performance piece based on my research.
