Rat Rios

I have some news to share that I’m very excited about: The Cold Plunge, a radio play written and directed by Sunny Bleckinger IS OUT IN THE WORLD!

I invite you to listen to this absurdist comedy drama that is so deeply human and heartwarming/breaking, so utterly strange at times you’re like, “Wait, come again?” but with it all so purposeful and CORRECT and fitting nicely like a favorite sweater.

Voicing Myrna was a highlight of my artistic career. (I seriously had so much fun, I wish I could do things like this everyday.) This was one of the projects that got me through a very tough year, and I’d like to think I helped get Myrna get through the murkiness as she did with me. Thank you Sunny for entrusting me to portray her.

You can find all four episodes on any podcast platforms! Also can we get three cheers for radio plays? MORE OF EM PLEASE!

Does this photo of a Lonestar precariously close to the Juno-6 make you as anxious as it does me? Are you wondering why I would post this photo of me performing in the dead of winter when it’s currently so dang hot outside? Does the heavy coat make your forehead start to sweat? Do you love me? Could you learn to love me?

Anyway, guess what?! GUUUEESSSS WHAT? Shaking the Tree Theatre is having its 21st birthday party on Saturday, July 20th and yours truly will be playing a Rat Rios solo set.

The two productions I’ve done with Shaking the Tree have forever altered my DNA and have allowed me to grow as an artist, performer, and human. I deeply love this theatre and I hope you’ll come out to celebrate with us. Tickets are absolutely free with RSVP - link to those tickets are in my bio.

I’ll see you there so I can threateningly gaze into your eyes while I sing about going insane. Awww. So sweet! 🥲
