2017-18 Projects
I have been cast in the Swine Palace's Equity production of Arcadia. Previews are February 14th and 15th with a run the 16-25th of February excluding Monday. Please let me know if you plan on stopping by.
------------------------------------------------------
As our first MFA project we will be doing a studio theatre workshop of LaRonde in November. Contact me for more info.
------------------------------------------------------
I have accepted a position at The Texas Shakespeare Festival for my second summer season! I'll be jumping into Suzy in The Marvelous Wonderettes, Queen Margaret in Richard III, and Duena/Mother Marguerite in Cyrano de Bergerac. www.texasshakespeare.com
------------------------------------------------------
I have been offered and accepted a position in the MFA of Acting Cohort at LSU this Fall with a sizeable financial package and teaching opportunity. I look forward to honing my craft, expanding my skill sets, building new contacts, and establishing myself in a larger network of actors and teachers. Baton Rouge, here I come!
------------------------------------------------------
I am so proud of the cast and crew of Sioux City East Middle School's LITTLE MERMAID, JR. I enjoyed these kiddos from auditions to blocking and choreography in many facets as a collaborator with Connie Smith. Between school and public shows they will do seven shows over February 23-25th. Get your tickets today!
------------------------------------------------------
I have recently been underwritten by MIPA (Morningside Institute of Performing Artists), as a founding member, to help create a solo/ensemble contest lesson package offered to Siouxland area schools to build new connections between students, teachers, and the college. I am proud to represent my alma mater and give back in this way for the solo/ensemble season. Between LINK/SETC, URTA, UPTA, TCUTA, and MIPA, this year will hopefully be fruitful in surprisingly new and exciting ways.

2016 Projects, most recent first
Connie Smith graciously invited me to jump into the sea with the cast and crew of Disney's The Little Mermaid, Jr. at Sioux City East Middle School for auditions, callbacks, choreography, and some of the more tidal wave of scenes to help for all of December and most of January before my Grad School search took off. I am so proud of how far these students have grown so much in a short time! I look forward to helping a little more before they are at the final stages of this journey! Thank you to Connie, Nathan, Jacob, and all the other additional helpers making this show all it can be.
------------------------------------------------------
Again I was invited to sing, in addition to play with the All American Band in town for their Holiday Concert hosted by Heelen High School in their newly built auditorium. Larry Williams directing to a gracious audience, the day couldn't have gone better.
------------------------------------------------------
A new journey began this fall as I started researching graduate schools for my Master of Fine Arts in Acting. I made a trip to LINK/SETC in early November and plan to attend U/RTA in NYC this coming January.
------------------------------------------------------
Here's my newest commercial in town for Mod House Interiors. I enjoyed every minute of this cast and crew! Mod House Interior Link
------------------------------------------------------
I am humbled and honored to be completing a semester at Wayne State College in Wayne, Nebraska, covering two classes, play directing and acting, for a dear lady who needed to take some medical time off. I am thoroughly enjoying my time with the students and faculty at Wayne and hope this is not my last time working with college level students for an ongoing basis. Blessings come in odd packages and, though I am loving this, surely hope the gal I'm covering for can return soon.
------------------------------------------------------
September of 2017 I was asked to step in, last minute for an interesting role at LAMB Regional Arts Theatre as the Foley Artist in the regional premiere of Feathers and Teeth, by Charise Castro Smith. I loved the development of sounds I was empowered to create in order to bring the creature to life. I certainly look forward to obscure opportunities like this in the future!
------------------------------------------------------
September 10th marked the 1st Annual Bard in the Barn Fundraiser for LAMB Arts Regional Theatre in Sioux City Iowa. I was invited to join a "non-competitive" team that was tasked to present entries from categories including Tragedy, History, Comedy, Sonnets, and Group Scenes. After kicking the night off with a little "Brush Up Your Shakespeare", the lovely Kati Brewer helped harmonize some original music I wrote to Sonnet 14, Jess Shoemaker, Donny Short and I had a blast working some dramatic Othello and I modernized some O For a Muse of Fire, to give it an edgy and more relatable feel for the event.
------------------------------------------------------
My heart is full after a summer crammed full of talent and challenge at the Texas Shakespeare Festival! Here's a great review about Henry V, in particular. I was so blessed with this opportunity!
Henry V, Texas Shakespeare Festival
Review https://www.playshakespeare.com/henry-v-reviews/theatre-reviews/15581-well-conceived-henry-v-invokes-the-aura-of-late-plantagenet-era
"Playing the vulnerable Princess Katherine, Lisa Crosby Wipperling did great justice to the part, and this is important in light of the fact that feminine roles and domestic scenes in Shakespeare’s histories are scarce. Though Wipperling’s role is not large, her scenes provided welcome comic relief and elicited a tender side of her suitor/conqueror." Copyright © 2016 by PlayShakespeare.com.
While at Texas Shakespeare Festival I journeyed through Noel Coward's Blithe Spirit(Ruth), Henry V(Katharine, French), and Carousel(Nettie Fowler) while sharing the experience with my husband as the audience services Stratford Room Gift shop Manager. The summer was well spent near my Arlington, Texas, family in addition to making a new TSF Family!
------------------------------------------------------
The All American Band Concert Series has four season concerts throughout each school year to benefit local organizations. Instead of sporting my regular instrument in the flute section, I will be a guest soloist for the concert on April 17th at 2pm in Eppley Auditorium, Directed by Larry Williams. It has been an absolute pleasure to get to work with the Band in this capacity and sing a little French in preparation for my summer gig at Texas Shakespeare Festival!
------------------------------------------------------
Here's the Siouxland local commercial I recently shot for the Boys and Girls Home. They are a wonderful organization in town that serves a group of students who need extra help adjusting to life. Some live there and some only do an alternative school there. I've worked with several students from here in different settings and am so glad that this organization is available to some of our young folks and families in town. Enjoy!

------------------------------------------------------
Fiddler On The Roof (Director/Choreographer) was a great undertaking at South Sioux City High School in South Sioux City, Nebraska. Rehearsals were January through March with a three show weekend in mid-March. The students were welcoming and eager to put on a good show and the administration and a few parents were willing to help whip the show into shape. With the help of my friend and esteemed Voice professional, Adam Webb, we double cast many roles in order to cover the parts needed to tell the story. It was certainly a three-month stint that will stay in my heart and memory for years to come.

2015 Projects
It's NTC's A Christmas Carol time again!
Nebraska Theatre Caravan's A Christmas Carol (Mrs. Cratchit)
November and December 2015, Dates may be added within the set calendar link below.
http://www.christmascarolontour.com/2015-tour-itineraries/red-tour-2015/
This is the year with only one leg, meaning we will visit both mid west and east coast venues on the tour. "That's right Burlington, Vermont! Mark your calendars and get tickets before it's sold out!" I'll be home for the week of Christmas after the tour is over and hope to catch up with as many of you as possible!
------------------------------------------------------
KTIV, Sioux City, needed talent for a local commercial and I happened to fit the bill this time. Once approved, you should see me on a local Sioux City commercial for Poo Sux, Dog Waste Removal. The management and staff of KTIV were all very nice and fun to work with!
------------------------------------------------------
It was a great second summer at the Black Hills Playhouse! Many things made it better than the first. Most importantly, my husband was able to come along and enjoy the beauty and good theatre! He kept busy working in the snack bar and loved taking regular hikes into the beautiful hills, when he wasn't seeing me on stage(wink)! If you haven't experienced BHP yet, I highly encourage it, either as a fellow actor/designer or as a patron. Fun shows this summer for me were To Kill a Mockingbird (Miss Maudie), She Loves Me, and Shrek (Dragon, Blue, 3BM, Dulocian, Happy Person). It was probably the first solid belt role I've conquered running eight shows a week. It was a test of my growth and Emily Cherry was a great balance of a director to allow me to struggle and grow! In addition, it was the 70th Anniversary! Many people came back for a fun-filled Alumni weekend and I reconnected with some old friends and met new ones. I was also nominated and accepted to my first Board of Directors position with the Black Hills Playhouse Alumni Association Board of Directors for a three-year term. I look forward to contributing in any way possible.
------------------------------------------------------
The Dakota Players had an opportunity to do a week-long residency at Garfield Elementary School in Sioux Falls. Because one tour was still on the road and the new tour was coming in the next week to train, I was asked to learn the new show and collaborate with the Director, Debra Workman, to learn the show, teach the show, and be in the show with two classes of 3rd graders. I wasn't alone; Debra helped every step of the way from the sidelines. We put together a show with some really talented kids, got a video together so the new tour would have a frame of reference to learn from and returned home at the end of that week with some great memories and gifts from the kids! Thank you to the school support staff and teacher who helped those kids do their best!
------------------------------------------------------
Into the Woods (Witch) was a great guest artist position at my Alma Mater, Morningside College as a part of the Betty Ling Tsang Fine Arts Series. We worked on a four-foot raked stage, my first rake experience ever. Many of us had full or partial face prosthetics and it was a challenge keeping it in place and out of the way of my speaking and singing. March was the month of sickness for that college campus so all were trying to work as the best team possible to keep the show going. The cast, crew and artistic team put together a memorable experience that we will not soon forget. Donny Short was our fearless leader in the pit, navigating live players, rehearsetracks for the missing instruments with a click track, and singers with a score that is definitely a more challenging score to navigate. Bravo! Thank you to Jerry Ditter, Betty Skewis, Nick Walker, Randy Peters and everyone else who had a hand in the production's magical final product.

Local Theatre: Lamb Regional Arts Theatre, Shot in the Dark Productions, and Sioux City Community Theater are fostering interesting projects that I hope I can contribute to in the coming months. "Flames" at Lamb, and "Wit" at Shot in the Dark were both very provoking and enjoyable performances.
Short Film: Western Iowa Tech, the local community college, has a film program that requests actors from time to time. I shot a short film entitled "Stressed" in late December and look forward to other opportunities as time allows.
