Along the Path of Larks and Swallows

"Along the Path of Larks and Swallows" is my third solo show.

A big French kiss of a show. With a bite.

It's about passion. It's about heartbreak. It's about the sleepless nights, the overwrought romantic flights of fancy, the tormenting insecurities (depilate, depilate, depilate!), and all the silly, embarrassing, wonderful things we do as we dance and stagger and rage through this life, hoping to find someone to love us back.

Love is crazy, isn't it? What else could it be, this magic that can unfold a kiss into a castle, this dream that can make you feel as if you’re flying or falling off a cliff, where you can surrender to an embrace and find yourself trapped to strangling in a teeny tiny cage?

There's nothing else like it.

I've performed "Along the Path of Larks and Swallows" at the wonderful Rogue Performance Festival in Fresno, where it received a great response this past March, and better yet, I was able to see my friends from last year, and make new ones. I fell in love with the Rogue (and the Roguers) last year, and I'm happy to have had the chance to start a show there. Love!

(Also, the Fresno Bee chose it as a Top Ten Pick of the Rogue.)

After the Rogue, I performed two excerpts at the DIVAFest Cabaret, which was tons of fun. The sharp and effervescent Sean Owens hosted, and the cool and dreamy Don Seaver accompanied me on the piano. (I do so hope we get to do a whole show together one day.) More love!

And a few weeks ago, Theatre Bay Area awarded "Along the Path of Larks and Swallows" a generous CA$H grant to expand and continue the production. Again, love...
