Bernarda alba and her house

Company or Group: Poetry Is Show: Bernarda Alba and Her House

Director: Robert Shoemaker

Run Dates: Winter 2016 Run Location: Redtwist Theatre, Chicago, IL Role: Millie

A cut of the classic Lorca play that positioned us in rural Louisiana in the early 1900s, courtesy of theatre artist, poet and collaborator Robert Shoemaker, or Eric to some. Eric is a fellow U of C grad and we worked on a film adaptation of the Orestia together during school. I was excited to work on this project with a strong ensemble of Chicago artists, and especially with Eric’s amazing creative team. We collaborated and experimented during rehearsals, with special twists like flamenco performances and music rehearsals with our talented show composer. My character, Millie, was trusting and caring to a fault. I truly enjoyed this long rehearsal process and performing at Redtwist.
