I had fun! 90210 Play: Dylan’s Confession

Hey everyone, I wanted to share this video with y’all. I was in a short play on the weekly Beverly Hills 90210 Show podcast & YouTube show, which is co-hosted by the producers of the original Beverly Hills 90210. This was the most fun I’ve had in a while; the whole experience was great! Our play is called “Dylan’s Confession.”

90210 Play: “Dylan’s Confession”

This new storyline predates season 1; I play a new character named ‘Michelle Ramos.’ A talented fan–Michelle Lojek–and producers–Larry Mollin and Charles Rosin–wrote the play. As a fan of the classic ’90s show, I was geeking out when I met Larry last year. I grew up seeing Larry and Charles’ names at the bottom of the screen. I’m honored that they tapped me to play a character in a story about the iconic character, Dylan McKay (rest in peace, Luke Perry–we miss you!). In this first video–below–you see just the play:

In the second video–around 12:10, the other cast members and I appear on screen. We discuss how we auditioned for the roles before the play begins.

Here’s the text my friends at the Beverly Hills 90210 Show show used to promote our play:
