TCG Circle: I have been a professional actress for 25 years both in NYC and regionally. Currently, in addition to performing, I am an administrative assistant with Theater Breaking Through Barriers, formally Theater By the Blind, a theater dedicated to advancing the careers of performers with disabilities. We are an integrated company of disabled and non-disabled people working together seamlessly. We are one of the few theaters dedicated to working with Performers with Disabilities and the only professional Off –Broadway Company of its kind in NYC. In my administrative capacity, I am in charge of new play research and development. I also help to find new talent and coordinate special projects. In fact, right now we are preparing for a special performance at the UN in NYC. We have been invited to perform at the opening ceremonies on Dec. 3, 2013 for International Day of Persons with Disabilities. This is our second invitation from the UN in 2 months. We also performed on Oct. 10 to help raise awareness for Disaster Risk Reduction while another branch of our company travelled to Zagreb, Croatia to perform at the Blind in Theater Festival, an international theater festival which brings together blind and low-vision theater companies to share works and exchange ideas.
