In 2010, she made her off-Broadway debut in Horton Foote's epic, Orphans' Home Cycle at the Signature Theatre in New York, directed by Michael Wilson. She played the roles of Lily Dale, Molly and Irma Sue. The Wall Street Journal called the plays, which were performed in repertory, "the most significant theatrical event of the season, the kind of show you tell your grandchildren you saw." A special Drama Desk Award was presented to the cast, creative team and producers.
