And you guys. I'm a winter, so I'll look freaking cute as a fucking button when it gets all "cold" and "miserable." You'll all be like, "whoa, we all told her it would really suck, but she's a GD winter so she CLEARLY showed us!" ...as she floats along in a snow drift slightly hued in the cheeks, her dark tresses curling delicately around her framing hood. All powder blues and rich and deep purples. The envy of all warm blooded creatures... OK, so I'm a little defensive about the weather thing. And terrified. No big deal. Airbnb's in the meantime. The first place I stayed was in Logan Square in this awesome, funky two bedroom apartment with Emy, a sleep technologist who (quite rightly) worked graveyard shifts so we would pass like ships in the night. Very cool lady, all the same. The second place I stayed was with Jim, a musician and father of four kids around my age who've all flown the coop and now he rents out their childhood bedrooms. Mine is a single bed with a headboard etched with flowers, painted choral with the walls painted light teal. It feels very homey, and Old Cat has taken to me and Orsino and sleeps with us every night. What a treasure.
My adventure is only just beginning in this town, and all I ask is that I can open my heart to Chicago and that Chicago opens its heart to me. No small feat, but I'm up for the challenge. LBR

9/29/2014 0 Comments Roses and ThornsThis past weekend we opened the first #OffTheHill touring show with Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park. Roses and Thorns is a tale of Beauty and the Beast written by fellow Seattlite, Bret Fetzer. In it I play a number of characters including Mulch, the forgotten, under-appreciated horse. In his eyes, this play would be named, The Tragedy of Excelsior: Forgotten, Misunderstood, and Misnamed as Mulch. If you're in the region, check out the website and find a neighborhood and showtime near you! It's been getting rave reviews from all my friends (the most trustworthy of critics, in my humble opinion) :-D -LBR This fall the Playhouse opens with Jeffery Hatcher's Sherlock Holmes and the Adventure of the Suicide Club. The show is directed by KJ Sanchez and opens this Thursday, September 8th in Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park's Marx stage. I'm thrilled to be understudying for the lovely Tonya Beckman who plays the mysterious, deliciously coy Club Secretary. It's been a joy to watch her and the entire cast bring this more humanizing portrayal of the later years of Sherlock Holmes' adventures to life.
-LBR Original photo can be found on P3/East's Facebook page hereThis Thursday the P3/East Seattle workshop will be doing some of our training for friends, friends of friends, family, family of friends, and generally interested folk to come and see. We will also be performing an original piece conceived by Robyn Hunt that plays in the stars and is set to the beautifully contemplative tunes of Jami Seiber. If you're in Seattle and would like to hear more, send me a message for details!
