3 commercials to share
February 10, 2009
Last year I booked a Chevron talking car commercial, "Options," I am the voice of the blue Scion. They started playing the commercial this year and it aired nationally during the Super Bowl. Erin Coker and I are in a commercial for Doritos that was a finalist in the "Crash the Super Bowl" contest. Unfortunately it did not win and air during the Super Bowl, but Doritos has picked up the finalists and is airing all 5 of the commercials nationally. Our is, "Too Delicious."

This is the first time that the Sri Lanka Trilogy, the first three installments of my solo show, "Taste of Enlightenment," will be woven together and performed as a single hour length piece. It’s an exciting step in the development of the full-length solo show, and I would love to see the old (and new!) Studio 300 gang there. Plus, you can see the other Studio 300 Fringe Festival performers as well! I had a great experience last year performing at the Marin Fringe Festival and received awards for Best Actress (1st Place), Best Director (David Ford, 2nd Place), and Best Play (3rd Place) for "Temporary Illusion," installment #1 of "Taste of Enlightenment." You can go to the Fringe Festival website link below for more details about the play, the festival, and performance times and dates.
