So lots of news! Suspicious Package: Rx has been published! It’s even on Amazon!!

Also, Suspicious Package is going to Edinburgh!!—but we need to raise a ton of money to get it there. For more info please check out our Kickstarter page, where you can also pledge to help out! (Any amount helps!)

I’ll also be contributing to The Brick’s Tiny Theater festival, as both a writer/performer in Espionage!, a new musical I helped write, and as the director of Crash Splash, a new play by the lovely Callie Kimball. Tickets are available here; Espionage! is in program A, Crash Splash is in program B.

Suspicious Package #1 was such a success that we’re doing a whole new show using the same technology! It’s called Suspicious Package: Rx, and it’s a retro sci-fi show, very Twilight Zone, where each audience member plays a role! It’s very cool (at least the critics thought so!) More info and tickets at www.suspiciouspackageshow.com.

I’ve also been rehearsing Fassbinder’s Blood on the Cat’s Neck with Ian W. Hill–and I get to play the lead, comic book heroine Phoebe Zeit-geist! Very very awesome. It’ll be in August. For more updates on the show, check out Ian’s blog.

Been forever since my last update, but I’ve been pretty busy! Two shows coming up:
Suspicious Package, an ipod noir I created! Check it out, I think it’ll be really cool.
Q&A;: The Perception of Dawn, a show I’m working on with the illustrious Danny Bowes. I play a glamorous, coke addicted movie star. Come see it!

Both are part of The Film Festival: The Theater Festival. Hope you can make them both!

I’m so sad that Anna Nicole is dead. After spending most of last year in her skin, I’ve had a special place for her in my heart. How very tragic. —Gyda
