This past December, I did a reading of my new one-person show, directed by Tony Award-winner Judith Ivey.

I am looking to mount a full production later this year. Donations will go toward crew fees, equipment, the cost of renting a venue in New York City for at least a two-week run, as well as the cost of living while I continue to create the show.

Any help at all would be enormously appreciated! — Ellie
