Kelly is thrilled to be a part of Subversive Theatre where she participated in
our staged reading of
WAITING FOR
LEFTY for May Day 2006. She also appeared in the world-premier of
Bill Schmidt's farcical political skit
"Don't Hate the Messenger"
as part of our showcase
SUBVERSIVE SHORTS 2007 at Rust Belt
Books in June 2007.
In our production of
NICKEL
AND DIMED (pictured above) in April-May of 2008, Kelly displayed her
nearly limitless range playing a long list of bizarre and eccentric
characters at the Alt Theatre. She performed in our staged reading of
THE
MAN WHO NEVER DIED at the Alt for May Day 2008 and then in our production of
PALACE
OF THE END (2009) -- the first-ever production at the
Manny Fried Playhouse.
Most recently, Kelly was a part of
sUBVERsIVE
sHORTs 2009 directing the vignette
"Beautiful Ogre"
and acting in
"Vessels."
