Susan performed her cabaret act as a benefit for The Young Actors Company on Friday, July 27th at 8pm at The Madrid Theatre in Canoga Park, CA.  The wonderfully talented kids of YAC did a musical presentation to promote their upcoming production of Grease, and then joined Susan to sing Seasons of Love from Rent as the finale.  

The Young Actors Company was founded by Susan's friend (and Prop Master for Nikki), Josh Meltzer and his wife Stacey.  YAC is dedicated to teaching teens and young adults, through the discipline of theatre, self esteem, confidence, respect, cooperation, public speaking and other life tools necessary for them to thrive in today's environment.

Susan stars in the devious and comedic short film by David Jackson Willis entitled The Disappearing Girl Trick.  It's the story of what happens to a junior TV producer (Susan) when she goes undercover as a magician's assistant to expose the tricks behind the magic. What she learns changes her life forever and will make you think twice the next time you see a magician pull a cute bunny out of a hat. The film was shot at the world famous Magic Castle in Hollywood.  To learn more about The Disappearing Girl Trick, visit their website at  www.inthedarkproductions.com.

Disappearing Girl Trick was one of several short films screened at the Directors Guild of America during the Filmmakers Alliances Annual Vision Award presentation to Terry Gilliam.
