Kim performed in a staged reading of The Rape of Lucrece by Kevin Brewer and William Shakespeare with New York Shakespeare Exchange as Mirabelle.

On the project: One of William Shakespeare's few narrative poems gets a theatrical adaptation for the 21st Century. Resident Playwright Kevin Brewer weaves his own original text in with the soaring iambic pentameter of Shakespeare's language to create a piece that keeps one foot solidly planted in the Elizabethan ideal, while finding a powerful foothold in our contemporary world.

Mastodon presents 'an evening of cigarette plays'

PictureThe company of 'an evening of cigarette plays' in rehearsal.




With her production company Mastodon, Kim produced 'an evening of cigarette plays'. The evening consisted of eight original, never before produced works (all about as long as it takes to smoke a cigarette) and brought together a company of eight playwrights, fifteen actors and six directors (with some overlap) to make it a truly collaborative evening.  Kim acted in an original piece by Jake Paque, and directed a piece by Rachel Lambert.


Along with original works, the evening included mingling, drinking and dancing & provided opportunities for new connections between the incredibly varied and expansive artistic community in New York City.
