Join me and director Sam Feder September 16, 2025 at the Gene Siskel center for a showing of HEIGHTENED SCRUTINY and a Q&A to follow. Sam will be joining us from New York, making a Chicago debut of their documentary and kicking off a community discussion.
"HEIGHTENED SCRUTINY follows Chase Strangio, ACLU attorney and the first out trans person to argue before the Supreme Court, as he fights a high-stakes legal battle to overturn Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth (United States v. Skrmetti).
With the dangerous SCOTUS decision upholding the ban on life-saving healthcare, HEIGHTENED SCRUTINY is an urgent call to action against bigotry and injustice."

LA | CHICAGO | MORE?
Inspired by the director’s clear-cut vision and strong artistic voice, I am currently co-producing a series of blackbox table reads to create more opportunities for trans actors to play classical American theatre roles.
Currently based in LA and growing an audience across the country, this series aims to give actors the opportunity to play and explore roles often denied to trans actors, even at the pre-audition stage.
This project aims to increase opportunities for actors to play in these roles and to bring audiences into an experience often missed in theatre, on film, and on TV.
