Before experiencing Public Works’ Public Record at The Delacorte Theater in Central Park, my hair was drab and colorless. This is me after. It’s a party!

The incredible FREE devised community theater performance is happening Sept 4–8 at 8pm! Just show up at the box office! Ticket info at publictheater.org #wearepublicworks

I chopped up my tights for the occasion! 🐠🔪 taken in Delacorte Theatre by @tamtheweapon

I used to run fasted & often experienced weakness and lightheadedness! Now I carb fuel always! Feeling strong 💪 is fun!

Color coordination with an exhibition may lead to excessive confidence.

We are now on display thru May.

It’s always as if no time has passed.

It’s been a min since my last studio photoshoot for The Public. Today I set up a test lighting idea. It’s a workout to gather the equipment and schlep around the theater, but always a thrilling process—especially when the strobes oblige to work in unison.

One day I’ll perfect that 10 sec self-timer hair flip lighting test.

Also on my shirt is the incredible Bridget Everett from a Joe’s Pub show.
