Team Highlights
Ovation is full of talented actors and actresses of both the stage and screen. Check out where our team is performing when they aren’t training with Ovation.
Jason Bayle has recently started working on 2 new projects for Netflix and Apple TV+. He also appeared in the new ABC series “Women of the Movement” and will be appearing in “The Burial,” coming in September, with Jamie Foxx and Tommy Lee Jones.
Tracey Lee made her Off Broadway directorial debut in Jan/Feb. Tracey’s newest play with music “Ay! Ay! Ay! & the West Side Stories: A Puerto Rican Play” has 2 mini workshops this month—one in CO and another in NYC supported in part by the Miranda Family Fund. She’ll also be in Sarasota this month script consulting for a new musical called “Ruby”. In September, she’s scheduled to direct a workshop of another new musical, “Yellow Rose,” and then she’s in Syracuse to do her 7th production of “Lady Day At Emerson’s Bar & Grill”. Right after the new year, her play “Rabbit Summer” will be produced in NJ and for the first time, with Tracey directing.
Joanna Parson did voice work on “Boston Strangler” (with Keira Knightley, for Hulu) and the upcoming Game Stop movie “Dumb Money” (with Paul Dano and Seth Rogen). She also took her solo musical “Three Chords of the Apocalypse: a Transcriber’s Tale” to Bellingham Theaterworks in Washington State.
Ilyse Robbins is spending August at Peterborough Players directing Bridget Beirne in “Tell Me on a Sunday.” Then she is back to Boston to choreograph “Assassins” at Lyric Stage Company, direct “Lizzie, The Musical” at The Umbrella Arts Center, and then choreograph “The Rocky Horror Show” at Central Square Theater!
Anne Allgood had a delightful time this spring as Mrs. Lovett in SWEENEY TODD at Seattle’s 5th Avenue Theatre. She is enjoying a summer “off” (coaching, teaching, and baking her way through a couple of cookbooks)—and before you know it, it’ll be autumn and she’ll be in rehearsal for A CHRISTMAS CAROL at ACT Theatre, playing Mrs. Fezziwig (and understudying the Ghost of Jacob Marley!).
Keir Kirkegaard has two movies streaming on UpTV—“Just Jake” and “The Happy Camper.” He recently filmed his third national commercial of the year. You can check out the Doritos commercial that aired during the MTV Video Music Awards this year HERE.
Lyndy Burnham, Ovation Director of Client Engagements, recently lead a group of SCUBA divers with Blue Green Expeditions to the coastal islands of Croatia. Starting in the north at Zadar the group sailed south for 12 days ending in the city of Dubrovnik aboard the specially designed motor yacht Vranjak I. In addition to diving many offshore islands, there were numerous shipwrecks ranging from WWII era to more recent sinkings. Many encounters with octopuses during the day and at night made the trip special and unique. Lyndy is next scheduled to return to Iceland late in the summer leading another group. Check out these pictures from his most recent dive!
Nikki Coble is the creator and producer of Awkwardly—a pocket-sized original series with a mighty quirky heart.
Patricia Legare got into the Edinburgh Fringe Festival which will be virtual this year and into the Crude Theatre Festival in Oklahoma where she will be performing in October! The play is called The Tarantula, a one woman show written by her.
