A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Monica Sanborn (she/her) is a Canadian, multidisciplinary artist and actor based in Brooklyn, NY. She is a proud company member of Theater Mitu working most recently as a co-creator and performer of Utopian Hotline currently touring internationally.

Noah Schamus) premiering at Provincetown Film Fest.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
