I play General Stewart Bailey in 'The Song Of Her.' The film is a love story that takes place in an alternate universe of a tortured pipe organist who tries to drown out the sounds of war while working for a secret society of ruthless women. We watch how these women coexist in this post-apocalyptic world and deal with issues of oppression and finding their identity in the unforgiving world of war and survival.

Reading of 'The Seekers' by Jeesun Choi
So excited to participate in the reading of Jeesun Choi's beautiful play, 'The Seekers.' I will be playing Fawsia Aden, a Somali refugee, Ilhan's single mother and nurse.
SYNOPSIS
Ilhan Yusuuf Warsame, a Somali high school student living in Minneapolis, is at the loneliest point in her life when she starts having visions. People on the fringes of Europe, Arctic circle and urban landscapes populate her consciousness, drawing her into this forgotten world that exists just beyond reality. What happens when people, who feel the most alone on earth, find others?
I'm in a new show. It's a marriage of script and improv. Details about the show and tickets here.
**I'm not in every show, but due to the nature of this show I can't list dates & times. If you're interested in seeing me perform, please contact me via my contact page and I'll send you dates & times. It's going to be fun! Thank you!
The Twist: The script has been given to 5 directors. Each director has cast the play with a team of five actor/improvisors and each team has rehearsed the play in their own unique way. At no time during rehearsal will the separate casts communicate with each other. For each performance, one actor/character from each team will meet one another in character - for the first time on stage.
