The Column Awards 2012

So far 2012 has proven to be extremely exciting! Aside from an incredibly fun New Years eve, I have found out that I have been nominated for THREE column awards. There are still a few rounds of voting left to go, but I am thrilled beyond belief to even be considered amongst the top actors in Dallas.

For those of you who do not know, the Column awards are like the local Tony's for the Dallas theatre scene. The Column's John Garcia started the awards to raise money for Broadway Cares: Equity Fights Aids, and it has grown into one of the most sought after recognitions in Dallas theatre.

This season has been filled with many firsts for me, as well as many fun triumphs and learning experiences. I have been nominated for the following:

Best Actress in a Musical:
Annie Oakley in Annie Get Your Gun



Best Actress in a Musical:
Janet Wiess in Rocky Horror Show


Best Actress in a Play
Carol Melkett in Black Comedy



Thank you Art Centre Theatre and Rover Dramawerks for allowing me 
the incredible opportunity to bring these characters to life. Each one 
struck a chord with me in a different way, but I am certainly a 
better actress and performer for each of them.
