YEAH. CUZ I'M MATHEMATICAL LIKE THAT!
What? I went to math contests!!

I am just going to keep it movin' with more highlights from this year so far!

JANUARY
Performed new songs and comedy bits at The Zoeshow:New Stuff Show at the PIT with guests Toby Singer, Garrett Willingham, Sarah Kozinn, Kevin Johnston, Dave Herman, and Roman Pietrs. All new stuff!!

Co-wrote and performed a new sketch show with Gary DeNoia called "Zoe and Gary: Not PIctured" at the PIT.

Wrote an ENTIRE MUSICAL in about 8 days (!!!) with Toby Singer called "Nina in New York." Performed a reading of the full-length show with Shauna Goodgold, Jessica Morgan, Iliana Inocencio, Peter Wilson-Tobin, Tim Osgood... and me.

FEBRUARY
Went on tour with Story Pirates to Florida! Performed in 2 public schools and for the public at the Miramar Cultural Center. And we went to the beach. In February!!!

I flew away to sunny Los Angeles, California for most of February and the beginning of March. Man oh man, I love it there. I went on some auditions, checked out some shows at the Groundlings theatre, and even performed down at UCSD in a fine art show. And plenty of relaxing, visiting friends, and hangin' out. Vaycay: can't beat it. :)

Since I've been back, I did a killer photoshoot with Eric Michael Pearson, I have been a whole bunch of auditions, and have some good news to report soon. STAY TUNED, PEOPLE!!

SEPTEMBER
~The last weekend in July I made it onto a PIT House Team. Yay! We named ourselves TrapDoor, and we continued to perform long-form improv comedy every Monday night!!
~I made my most outrageous appearance to date in Kurt Braunohler's Night of the Living-- as a giant baby in a giant Baby Bjorn strapped to Kurt for the whole opening monologue!!! I seriously cannot wait to get those pix.

~A mish-mash of everything: TrapDoor, Epic Beards, Story Pirates, Night of the Living... and a trip home to Saint Louis for Thanksgiving!

DECEMBER -- hold on to your hats...
~I booked TWO projects that I auditioned for in ONE day!!! I shot a web commercial for MD Connect and played a well-meaning but ditzy receptionist... and I sang and danced in new web content for Skinny Cow: the shoot was an outdoor, one-shot, two minute music video with my new friends at And Now Media!!!
~I was hired as the new online host for CheapNYC TV-- a website for free and Cheap things to do in NYC. We have already shot two projects: one at SantaCon and one on the Staten Island Ferry!
~I did another Zoeshow: LIVE! in conjunction with aMios (theatre company).
~Hot Damn: My PIT team TrapDoor had Daily Show correspondent Wyatt Cenac as a guest performer. Not a bad way to close out 2011!!! :)
