The House That Will Not Stand

Life takes you in many directions. I'm thankful for them... The past 2 weeks I've been in Pougkeepsie, NY, on the Vassar college campus surrounded by some talented individuals and some interesting personalities! Participating in Powerhouse and New York Stage & Film summer festival.

I'm playing the dark romantic Odette in "The House That Will Not Stand" by Marcus Gardley.

Motown Baby!




Hey guys just a little peak at the cast of the most recent workshop of the Motown inspired Berry Gordy musical! We spent much time tweaking the script and singing the changes! Its gonna be a good one, I found myself play several key character, important people in Mr. Gordy's life, including his beloved sister Anna Gordy,was formerly married to Marvin Gaye, the fabulous Martha Reeves, and the tough talking, smoothly powerful Edna Anderson. Many things change during the creative process but so far it has been amazing!

Saycon and Motown Reading #1!


As the summer approaches I'm excited to prepare for a return to Motown with a show that's in works about the life of Berry Gordy and Motown. I had the opportunity to participate a few months ago and met some great people. Our next reading is fast approaching!
I enjoyed some great talents at a celebration and fundraiser organized by
Rebecca Covington. I met her durng the "Motown" reading and let me tell you
she's a hardworking talent with a big heart! She recenty lost her brother, Daniel Covington, former Louisville Cardinal to
violence in Kentucky. At the show were many performers includng Eric Lajuan
Summers, Krystal Brown, Chester Gregory, and many more along with special guest
Eric Roberson who sang a song from his album and created a song based on words
suggested by the audience! It was a beautiful night for a beautiful cause! God bless Rebecca and her family!
