I got the amazing opportunity to participate in Fresh Ground Pepper's 2014 Playground Festival at South Oxford Space in a reading of "Mourning Sun" by Antu Yacob, directed by David Mendizábal.

"The FGP PlayGround PlayGroup is a long-term writers' group for artists working on projects in their earliest stages of development. PlayGround PlayGroup operates just like the rest of FGP - it is a place where writers can be bold and unabashed in their creation of work and their support of one another. The PlayGround Festival marks the culmination of a year of work on these projects."

What a great way to start the month of December! I can't wait to see the rest of my headshots by J. Demetrie Photography. They were so joyous, relaxed and extremely professional...And who could go wrong with a nice cool glass of wine. Here is a behind the scenes shot and a sneak peek at one of their favorite photos shot and edited by Jovani Demetrie McCleary with eco-friendly makeup and styling by Anastasia Lange.

Check them out (and the gushing review I wrote about my great experience) on Facebook here:
