So the concept of this commercial is that the prices at Navarro Pharmacies are SO good, that employees from “other” pharmacies go there to shop. In this commercial, I play the part of a Walgreens employee who wants to take advantage of the deals at Navarro, but Gasp! I can’t be spotted shopping at the competition in…
Call it beginner’s luck. This was my very first casting, and I got it! For several days, we shot during a late summer heat wave in rural Alabama, where the dust was plentiful and the Waffle House was good eats. This beautifully shot show (reminiscent of Law & Order) is actually part of a series…
What is an “industrial”? When I first heard the term, it conjured up images of working in a refinery. But no! An industrial is simply a program that will air exclusively for a company’s employees. In this case, I play “Christine”, a Comcast employee who is shopping around for a different job within her company.…
To this day, my family keeps asking me about the whereabouts of “Paulita”, my fictional daughter in this Publix commercial. This commercial is in Spanish and centers around a mother and daughter preparing for the “Quinces” (15th year birthday) of the daughter. The casting directors wanted me for the part but did not want my…
I was psyched to get this commercial because I’m a real-life fan of Navarro. Everyone is so friendly every time I go there it actually makes me enjoy shopping.

Mamma Mia is a giving show…Performers frequently contribute money, time and talent to help out good causes. This time around, the giving was for the Huck House in Columbus, Ohio for teens in crisis. Just in time for the holidays, the Mamma Mia tour joined forces with the charity to create a fundraising concert. Our…
For the first time, I was nominated for a Carbonell Award, and made my first appearance at the Carbonells, both as a nominee and as an invited performer. The Carbonell Awards are, in essence, the Tony Awards of South Florida, honoring the best theatre in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties. It’s a highly-anticipated event,…
As We Stumble Along is the show-stopping number performed by The Drowsy Chaperone. As the narrator of the show points out, it is basically a rousing anthem to alcoholism. For those of you who haven’t seen The Drowsy Chaperone, Eileen played the title character, a Grande Dame of the Stage who specializes in “rousing anthems”…
I was invited by my fellow TV cohort Ernie Manouse to sing on his artsy evening show The After Party, which aired on PBS in Houston, Texas before a live audience. For this performance, I chose to a song I haven’t recorded yet: I Believe.
