In June 2020 Marianne was an actor in a virtual immersive experience with Hollywood writer and director Darren Lynn Bousman (Saw II-IV, Repo: The Genetic Opera, Spiral). During a time of sheltering in place and in the midst of a global pandemic, Darren (with the help of actors and many writers) spun dozens of stories played out across multiple mediums by participants spanning the globe.

“iConfidant was conceived and created as a rabbit hole that allowed our participants to break out from their reality and enter a bizarre and distorted world.”

Welcome to the Centennial of Women’s Suffrage in America. We celebrated with the virtual reading of a new play, War of the Roses, by Richard Mann, on September 5th, 2020.

In August 1920, the final battle for the ratification of the 19th amendment, a woman’s right to vote, was staged in Nashville, Tennessee. It was waged among 3 polar suffrage factions, each represented by a different colored rose. Can a rose in a lapel have enough weight in this unique moment of history to tip the scales against a lifetime of gender discrimination? These women and their advocates are determined to find out “whenever possible by whatever wiles.”

I was thrilled to be a part of this project and do not take my right to vote for granted! Women in America fought for more than 70 years to secure that right, which came almost 150 years after the founding of our nation.
