My Whorizontal Life! The Play! The Film!

My Whorizontal Life is a solo play about my life as an actress turned escort turned actress. It’s a wild ride on and off theater stages, in and out of countless beds, from falling in love to devastating heartbreak, from the heights of success to losing it all until finally finding a way back, and reclaiming a dream in the most unlikely way.

This is a story of resilience that aims to undo the stigma around sex workers, women’s sexuality and to become a voice for the marginalized.

What's this all about?

Oh so long ago I began as an actress, then I got into Juilliard and was an actress!

But when I graduated, to my surprise, Hollywood said there was no place for me. I wasn’t “pretty enough”. (Well. It was the 80s)

I found myself not only disillusioned … but disillusioned with lots of debt and student loans to pay.

There began my journey of how to be an artist in a practical way.

I became an Escort.

Not just an Escort, but the #1 Escort in the Country.

I was living two separate lives, always determined to get back to the stage, so I started writing a solo show.

I believed the only way I would be seen in the entertainment industry was by creating my own work.

So I wrote and wrote. On trains, buses, in journals, on napkins, with eyeliner, with lipstick pencil, in between clients, upside down and horizontal. I wrote the life I was living as an actress and a courtesan.

Decades later, it’s finally complete. I'm scared. I haven't been on stage in many years. And I'm scared to go public with the story I'm telling. But, it's a story that deserves to come out from beneath misconceptions, misperceptions, and be told truthfully.

I want you to take my hand and let me lead you underground into the secret life of Courtesans. It's fun, it's funny, and I'd wager so much different than you imagined.

So come on you curious human, you got this far! You know you want to know! Join us!
