"Mauritius" by Theresa Rebeck, The Artist's Sandbox, Photography: Yadin Goldman
Last weekend I performed as Jackie in The Artist's Sandbox's production of "Mauritius" by Theresa Rebeck. I was so excited to share our work with audiences, and had such fun performing this show all weekend!
I am really grateful to Alex Nicholson, the founder and producing artistic director of the company, for giving me the opportunity to join this production, and to our lovely director, Emily Naylor, for guiding us through this process. When looking at a synopsis of this play it seems to just be about an old stamp collection, but there is so much more going on between these delightfully rich and complex characters. I loved the challenge to play Jackie, a young girl who has had a very dark past and is now desperate for the chance at a new life, and maybe even a real family. Her motives and objectives go far beyond her personal finances, and it was a joy to be able to play within her world.
If you missed the show- below are some of my favorite shots from the first half of the play, which include my lovely cast members: Aleigha K. Spinks (Mary), Matthew Shaw (Dennis), Connor Lawrence (Phillip), David Alexander (Sterling). Photography by Yadin Goldman.
