A performance artist’s sign says, “There are 72 objects on the table that one can use on me as desired.” So they do. Their marriage will never be the same.

Are you someone who watches or who joins in?

Get your chess on in the sexiest way ever seen on stage.

I’ll be Mrs. Malaprop in “The Rivals” at the Actors’ Gang on Friday, November 2 and Saturday, November 3. Try to figure out what I’m saying.

MATE will be produced by Theater Arts at the California Institute of Technology for two weekends beginning in November. Come visit the sexy side of chess.

November 16, 17, 18
November 30, December 1, 2

Add a dash of romance and dueling to your life with The Rivals, written by Richard Brinsley Sheridan, directed by David Schweizer, and opening at the end of September. I’ll be mangling words some weekend as “Mrs. Malaprop.”

My play is part of the Playwrights Union Reading Festival of New Work.

THEORY OF NOTHING
By Lolly Ward, Directed by Randee Trabitz
Sunday, May 13, 1:15-3:00pm at the Actors’ Gang; Culver City, CA

A family of scientists and artists gathers to finalize the parents’ divorce, but complications of love and memory in multiple dimensions change their path. If Marie Curie stopped by your tree house, would you let her in?

TACIT (Theater Arts at the California Institute of Technology), headed by Brian Brophy, presents a staged reading of MATE, Saturday, April 28, 2012, 11am-2pm.

Two of my loves, the New Yorker magazine and the new NBC show AWAKE are together at last. Read the rave review by Emily Nussbaum, including this quote on the storyline I was in: “When in the third episode, Michael’s son was kidnapped…I became so desperate for Britten not to lose his son again that my heart was in my throat.”

I’m happy to be joining forces with a new commercial agency, MKS & Associates. Go, team.

My new play, THEORY OF NOTHING, delves into the secrets of physics through family ties. Get into the spirit by watching HOW THE UNIVERSE WORKS or reading QUANTUM PHYSICS FOR POETS

The episode I shot, “Guilty,” is set to air March 15, 2012 on NBC, 10pm, 9pm central.

(Pilot airs March 1st.) Get ready for this nurse and some double trouble.
