As a part of the  'The Division' cast, Janet plays the role 'Actor B'

 FRIDAY, JUNE 23rd at 7:30pm

Andrew, the gay eldest grandson to a famous Ukrainian watchmaker, feels an urgent need to pay his patriotism forward to his nephew in the face of Russia's ongoing invasion. But contentions about their family’s history call Andrew back to Ukraine with big questions – for the dead most of all. Encounters with a shrinking village, war historians, and a ghost holding a grenade stretch a writer across one of the great divides: between what is remembered and what is forgotten.

RSVP  here!

DECEMBER 3rd AT THE NEW WOMEN SPACE

Janet will be performing as 'Mandy' in the workshop of Samantha Toy Ozeas new play 'Nannyville' in collaboration with GrassRoots Art Collective.
