Key Writings
“Renaissance Women: Explore the Making of Six’s Band.” Playbill, Sept-Oct. 2021 Issue
This interview with Six: the Musical's American music supervisor Roberta Duchak about the Broadway musical's unprecedented all-woman band was printed for the Fall 2021 Playbills when Broadway returned to live performances after the COVID-19 shutdown.
“Post-Pandemic, Cambodian Rock Band's Tour Is Ready to Storm the Stage.”Playbill, 25 May 2021
For this piece, I interviewed award-winning playwright Lauren Yee and Signature Theatre Artistic Director Paige Evans to talk about the origins of Cambodian Rock Band, how Yee's groundbreaking play with music was being adapted for a national tour in the post-COVID-19 era, and the significance of the show's Asian and Asian-American representation in the time of #StopAsianHate.
“Why Filthy Rich Is a New Kind of Family Drama.”Playbill, 21 Sept. 2020
In December of 2019, I attended my first out-of-town press junket in New Orleans for the brand-new FOX drama Filthy Rich, starring Kim Cattrall, Steve Harris, Corey Cott, Melia Kreiling, Aaron Lazar, and more. I got to interview the cast, showrunner Abe Sylvia, and the show's creator Tate Taylor about what made the Southern Gothic family drama so alluring.
While at Playbill, I co-wrote weekly Broadway-themed horoscopes with my boss (Playbill's illustrious Director of Social Media and Creative Strategy Felicia Fitzpatrick). A few of my favorite #BwayAstro columns have been inspired by the Mamma Mia! Cinematic Universe, LGBTQ+ theatre, Shakespeare, and the iconic Audra McDonald.
“What Viewers Need to Know About the Cast of Fox's Upcoming Rent.” Playbill, PLAYBILL INC., 8 Dec. 2018.
This was my first byline and print feature for Playbill’s 2018 December issue!
I like to think 15-year-old Kerri, a theatre kid at a performing arts high school in Virginia, would be proud that we lived our dream of living in NYC and making it to Playbill.
