What’s Been Happening?

 

·                    NBC Diversity ShowcaseWell, I made it through to the second round of auditions.  If chosen,  I will perform before top CDs, executives and agents in the industry.

 

·                    The ProcedureI played a doctor trying to comfort her patient as I prepare to perform an abortion.  Very moving short film, directed by Alison Hinds.

 

·                    The Young & The Restless has been the highest-rated serial in datetime for 17 years!  Guess who just finished shooting with that great cast and crew!  I co-starred as a country club gossip.  It was sure nice playing a rich woman.  Hope this will be a self-fulfilling prophesy!

 

·                    Finished up a project with Armstrong Moving Pictures.  In this training film I portrayed a Hospital Administrator.  Great people to work with.  Thanks Tim!

 

·                    Now Available in Video Stores - Mysteries of the Apocalypse.    Interesting project about religious cults and the news stories surrounding the Apocalypse.   I play a news reporter focusing on one of the UFO cults that gathered in Garland, Texas, a few years back.  Remember the group that believed God would show up in a spaceship!!!

 

·                    Just closed the world premier of Harriet Tubman Visits a Therapist at the Stella Adler Theater.  Yes, I played Harriet Tubman’s Therapist. Hollywood newspaper columnist Rych McCain writes the following:  Brilliant casting...... Evans combined a delicious mix of emotional change ups that kept me debating whether I was with or against her character's position with {Harriet} Tubman”.

 

·                    Have you ever had the kind of boss you could never satisfy?  No matter what you did, she could find something wrong with it.  Well, Brenda in the industrial film, Leader Madness, is such a boss.  She put the “B” in B????......I mean, “boss”.  I enjoyed playing her and taking the character way over-the-top.  Fun!   Currently in post-production.

 

·                    Just recently finished a heart-tugging performance at the Skirball Cultural Center as Mrs. Finsch in the staged production of Norman Corwin's 1945 masterpiece, "On a Note of Triumph".  This production is considered the most powerful work of 20th century radio, recapping World War II and looking ahead at the uncertain peace to come. This performance was in commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the original V-E Day broadcast, and celebrating Norman's 95th birthday.  A woman in the audience was a former prisoner of one of the concentration camps and shared with us how she heard the broadcast back in ’45 while waiting to be liberated.  She thanked us for reminding her how blessed she was.   Gee...   Norman and the cast were in awe.
