The Online Stage (of which I am a happy member) just released two new recordings on Audible! I have small roles in both recordings.
First up is The Mantle by Nikolai Gogol. I play the landlady and Akaki Akakievitch's daughter.
"The Mantle" follows the life of a civil servant, Akaki Akakievitch
who just loves his work! Born in St Petersburg, he is a copy writer,
meaning he copies text from one place to another. In his spare time and
after work hours, he also copies. When given more responsibility, he
begs to return to...copying. One particular winter, he notices that,
between home and office, he is cold, his mantle is threadbare, and he
can no longer repair it himself. Our conflict begins here, as Akaki
seeks a solution to his threadbare mantle.
Nicolai Gogol is a
wonderfully observant author and his characters are so rich that we feel
we can understand their points of view. This tragicomedy is Russian
society in the mid 1800s at its most delightful!
Cast: Akaki
Akakievitch - Ben Stevens; Mother - Linda Barrans; Petrovitch/
Tovarisch/Sentry - Jeff Moon; Superior official/Doctor - Russell Gold;
Assistant/Shouting man/Friend - Andy Harrington; Landlady/Daughter - Lee

The second recording is the children's classic Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. LOTS of roles in this book! I play the cook and the old crab. (No snarky comments on that last one!)
Alice is played by an actual 7 year old -- the wonderfully talented Miranda Hodges!
"Join seven-year-old Alice as she tumbles down the rabbit hole to have
an adventure in Wonderland, in Lewis Carroll's classic novel beloved by
children and adults alike. Alice encounters many strange and curious
creatures in Wonderland, including the anxious White Rabbit, the rather
unhelpful Caterpillar, the disappearing Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter and
his guests at their tea party, and the horrible Queen of Hearts.
