“Decency has turned its back on this place. Make no mistake about it,” says the older sister.
Cruelty has befallen a young girl, but her sister isn’t going to sit around and wait for the dust to settle. She’s not going to allow some run-of-the-mill lawyer profess to be their fighter when she’s been doing it her whole life.

So thrilled I got to be interviewed by the NBC affiliate WCSH6!Click on the title to see the interview.
"Debrianna Mansini is an actress. She played Fran The Waitress in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. She came to Maine to put on her one-woman show "The Meatball Chronicles."
The show tells the story of Mansini's family - she's one of six daughters in a loud Italian family - and it's interwoven with her grandmother's recipe for meatballs.
The stories and the food evoke a lot of strong reactions from audience members. She's had one audience member tell her that he got so involved in a memory triggered by her show that he missed some of her performance. She also decided not to actually cook the meatballs on stage, realizing that the smells of the cooking dish may interfere with audience members' inner processes.
One of the things that Mansini does as she tours the play is to work with a local chef to come up with a dish to accompany the show. For the Portland run of the show, which you can find at the St. Lawrence Arts Center, Mansini paired up with Chef Eddy at the Front Room."

So grateful to be written up for my work in the short film Wolff's Law by Sheridan O'Donnell. It is doing very well at film festivals right now. My activist nature is thrilled to be a part of a film about the dangers of bullying.
